Define resultant force?
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 3 years, 11 months ago

When there is more than one force acting upon the same body. The different forces is altogether replaced by a single force. This force is called resultant force.


The formula of resultant force is F∨R = F∨1 + F∨2 + F∨3
If the force F∨2 is perpendicular to the force F∨1 then the formula is 
F∨R = F∨1 + F∨3 - F∨2 



EXAMPLE --
If three forces 60N , 45N and 30N are acting on a body simultaneously. 30N is opposite to the direction of other two. Calculate the resultant force.

SOLUTION -- 
As per the formula we will place the quantities. 

(60N + 45N) - 30N 
105N - 30N
= 75N

Hence, the resultant force for the question asked is 75N.
