Well, what happens when you take the vector sum of those two forces? What is the net force?
OpenStudy (beth12345):
would it be 1200N
OpenStudy (beth12345):
do you know what sort of equation i would need to find the answer?
OpenStudy (jamesj):
Are the two forces acting the the SAME direction? I don't think so. So you can't just add them up together. One acts down and one acts up.
OpenStudy (beth12345):
oh so its 720N-480N=240N
