Question

Where will this Box move if force acting from right hand side is 12N and that from left hand side is 12N ?

• A. It will move to the right.
• B. It will move to the left.
• C. It will not move
• D. It will move upward

Answer 1

The correct option is C It will not move

Force on object= 12 N toward left and 12 N toward right.
Forces are in opposite directions.
So Net force = 12 N - 12 N=0
Net force is zero. Thus forces are balanced and object will not move.
