3. If a 5 N and a 15 N forces are acting opposite to one another. Find the resultant
force and the direction of action of the resultant force.
Answer:
F1 =5N
F2 = 15 N
∴ Resultant force R = F1 – F2
= 5 – 15
= -10 N
It acts in the direction of the force of 15 N (F2).

Astronauts are not floating but falling freely around the earth due to their huge
orbital velocity. Since space shuttle and astronauts have equal acceleration, they
are under free fall condition. (R = 0) Hence, both the astronauts and the space
station are in the state of weightlessness.
