Question

A particle is simultaneously acted by two forces equal to 4 N and 3 N. The net force on the particle is

• A. 7 N
• B. 5 N
• C. 1 N
• D. Between 1 N and 7 N

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Between 1 N and 7 N

If two vectors $\overrightarrow{A}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ are given then the resultant $R_{max}=A+B=7N$ and $R_{min}=4-3=1N$ i.e. net force on the particle is between 1 N and 7 N.
