Two forces of magnitudes 5 N and 8 N act on a body. What are the maximum and minimum resultant forces that can act on the body?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Max. = 13 N

Mjn. = 3 N

Explanation:

Max. resultant will be when these forces are being applied in the same direction(along the same line), we'll simply sum up the forces to get the resultant in this case.

= 5 + 8

= 13 N

Min. resultant will be when these forces are being applied in opposite directions (the forces must be present along the same line).

We'll subtract them to get the resultant now

= 8 - 5

= 3 N
