Two oxen are pulling a cart in an Indian farm. One pulls with a force F₁ = 10î + 5ĵ N, and the other pulls with F₂ = 5î − 5ĵ N. What is the resultant force on the cart?
Two oxen are pulling a cart in an Indian farm. One pulls with a force F₁ = 10î + 5ĵ N, and the other pulls with F₂ = 5î − 5ĵ N. What is the resultant force on the cart?
- A. 15î N
- B. 10î + 10ĵ N
- C. 5î + 10ĵ N
- D. 15î + 10ĵ N
Answer: A) 15î N
Explanation: Resultant Force F = F₁ + F₂ = (10î + 5ĵ) + (5î − 5ĵ) = 15î N. The forces in the j direction cancel out.
