Question

Two forces are applied to a body in opposite directions. How do we combine these forces?

  1. Subtract them
  2. Add them
  3. Multiply them
  4. Divide one by another

hintHint:

 Whenever forces act on an object in opposite directions, net force is equal to the difference between the two forces

The correct answer is: Subtract them


    • If two forces are applied on a body from opposite directions to get the force we have to subtract them.
    • As one will be applying force and other will be opposing force.
    • And opposing force always have a negative magnitude.
