Question

what is the net force on the object below? - 84 n 150 n 66 n right 66 n left 234 n right 234 n left

Explanation:

Step1: Define forces

Let the right - ward force be positive. So \(F_1 = 150N\) (right) and \(F_2=- 84N\) (left).

Step2: Calculate net force

The net force \(F_{net}=F_1 + F_2\). Substitute the values: \(F_{net}=150+( - 84)\).

$$F_{net}=150 - 84=66N$$

Answer:

66 N Right
