Two children having a disagreement pull on a sled in opposite directions. One pulls with a force of 200 n east, the other with a force of 175 n west. A friction force of 10 n exists between the sled and the surface. Determine the net force on the sled.

Respuesta :

The net force on the sled which is pulled by the tooth children is 14 Newton in the east direction.

Two children are pulling the sled in opposite direction because of the disagreement.

One of the child is pulling the sled with a force of 200 Newton in the east direction and the other is pulling the sled with the force of 175 Newton in the West direction and affection force of 10 Newton is existing between the slid and the surface.

The net force on the slide can be given by,

F = 200-150-10

F = 40N

So, the net force on the slide is 40 Newton in the east direction.

Here. we directly subtracted the force because the direction of the forces was opposite of each other and the friction also acts in the direction opposite of the motion of the object.

So, the net force on the sled is 40 Newton.
