Question

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 N each. One pushes north, the other east. What is the equilibrant force?

A. 85 N southwest
B. 85 N northeast
C. 120 N southeast
D. 60 N northeast

**not sure how to do this one? thank you:)

Answer 1

Equilibrant force is the force, which keeps any object motion less and acts on virtually every object in the world that is not moving.

Answer 2

ohh so it would be 60 N northeast?

Answer 3

yeah

Answer 4

hypotenuse of that triangle

Answer 5

so hypotenuse would be 84.85 so roughly 85?

Answer 6

D

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

NE

Answer 9

oh wait, so it's 85 N northeast? or 60 N northeast?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

The resultant of the two forces, vector addition

Answer 12

85 ne

Answer 13

85 N northeast

Answer 14

ahh okay, thank you both!!
