Question

A particle is simultaneously acted by two forces equal to 4 N and 3 N. The net force on the particle is

• A. 7 N
• B. 5 N
• C. 1 N
• D. Between 1 N and 7 N

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Between 1 N and 7 N

Answer 2

If two vectors $\overrightarrow{A}$and $\overrightarrow{B}$ are given then the resultant $R_{\text{max}}$ = $A + B = 7N$and $R_{\min}$

i.e. net force on the particle is between 1 N and 7 N.
