Question

When two forces, $50\text{N}$ and $35\text{N}$ acts on a body, then the body will be in

• A. rest.
• B. uniform motion.
• C. uniformly accelerated motion.
• D. Either option $\left(A\right)$ or $\left(B\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is C uniformly accelerated motion.

The maximum magnitude of their resultant is,

$F_{\text{max}}=50+35=85\text{N}$

The minimum magnitude of their resultant is,

$F_{\text{min}}=50-35=15\text{N}$

Therefore, the net force will be,

$15\le F_{\text{net}}\le 85$

It is clear that, in any case, the resultant force acting on the body will be greater than zero.

So, the body will move with uniform acceleration.

Hence, option $\left(C\right)$ is the correct answer.
