Question
- net force:
forces are: balanced unbalanced
object will: not accelerate accelerate
Step1: Resolve vertical forces
Sum the vertical - acting forces. Upward force is $3N$, and the total downward force is $6N + 3N=9N$.
Step2: Calculate net force
Net force $F_{net}=3N - 9N=- 6N$ (taking upward as positive). The magnitude of the net force is $6N$. Since the net force is non - zero, the forces are unbalanced.
Step3: Determine object's motion
According to Newton's second law $F = ma$, when there is an unbalanced force ($F
eq0$), the object will accelerate.
