Activity 1.

2
Aim: To determine the resultant force produced when two forces are acting on an object on a plane

Situation 1: Two forces acting on an object in the same direction

Question: Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force for the two forces below.

Situation 2: Two forces acting on an object in the opposite directions

Question: Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force for the two forces below.
Situation 3: Two forces acting on an object perpendicular to each other

Question: Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force for the two forces below.

Situation 4: Two forces acting on an object in directions that are not perpendicular to each
other

Question: Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of two forces 10 N
and 8 N acting on a point. The angle between the two forces is 60°.
