Question

Suppose four unequal forces A, B, C and D act on an object along the same line. If these forces are arranged in an ascending order of their size, we get A < C < B < D. The net force acting on this object is directed towards which of these forces?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

hintHint:

The net force is directed to the larger force. As D has a greater size than all other forces, the net force is directed towards the D.

The correct answer is: D


    • The direction of the net force is towards the greater force.
    • If multiple forces with different sizes and directions are applied to an object the net force combines all the forces.
    • As a result, the net force will be directed in a direction of greater magnitude.
    • For the forces A, B, C, and D that have an ascending arrangement of A<B<C<D, the net force will be directed towards D as it is larger in size.
