Resultant Force

Q1: What is Force?

Answer:

The force acting on the body is defined as the rate of change of momentum of the body. In simple term we define force as a Push or Pull. The formula to calculate the force is,

F = ma

where
m is the mass of object
a is the acceleration of object

Q2: What is Resultant Force?

Answer:

The sum of all the force acting on the body is called the resultant forces. If the resultant force acting on the body is zero then the body is ether in uniform motion or at rest. While if the resultant force acting on the body is non-zero then the body is accelerating or in non-uniform motion.

Q3: What is Resultant Force Formula?

Answer:

The resultant force formula is the formula which is used to calculate the resultant of the force acting on the body is, if the force acting on the body is are f₁, f₂, and f₃ then the formula for force acting on the body is,

F_R = f₁ + f₂ + f₃

Q4: What is the unit of the Resultant Force?

Answer:

As the resultant force is nothing but the sum of all the forces acting on the body it is measured in the SI unit of force, i.e. Newton(N). It is also measured in kgm^-1s^-2

Q5: What is Net Force?

Answer:

Net Force is nothing but the resultant force acting on the body. It is the resultant of the forces acting on the body.

Resultant Force is the total force acting on the body. It is defined as the sum of all forces acting on a body and it is the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body. The resultant force is measured in Newton which is the SI unit of force. If the resultant force acting on a body is zero then either it is in uniform motion or it is at rest.

The resultant force acting on an object can be visualized by the example, suppose a box is resting on a table and the force of 10 N is applied to it in the North direction and a force of 8 N is applied to it in the south direction then the resultant force acting on the body is in 2 N (10 N – 8 N). 

In this article, we will learn about, force, the resultant force, and the resultant force formula, its example, and others in detail. Now before learning about the resultant let’s learn about What is Force?
