Question

An object is under the action of three pushing forces, one (150 N) from its front side and the rest (74 N and 54 N) from its back side. The net force is directed

  1. 150 N
  2. 74 N
  3. Both 1 and 2 
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

If the forces from two directions are applied to an object, the movement will be towards a greater magnitude.

The correct answer is: 150 N


    • If the forces applied on an object are directed in the opposite directions and are not equal, the force will be unbalanced.
    • The unbalanced force makes the object move towards a greater magnitude.
    • If a force from one direction with 150 N and two forces from the opposite direction with 74 N and 54 N are applied to an object, the object will move towards the force of 150 N as it is greater than 128 N (74 N+54 N).
