If two forces are in the same direction, then their resultant is also in the same

direction, and its magnitude is the sum of the two components' magnitudes.

Resultant of two like parallel forces?

The magnitude of the resultant of two like parallel forces is the sum of the magnitudes of the forces and its direction will be same as the direction of the parallel forces.


How can you find the net force if two forces act in the same direction?

forces in the same direction can be added to give us the resultant force and opposite force will subtracted to get resultant force


How the condition for two force system to be equivalent?

That depends on the direction of the forces. If the two forces act in the same direction, the resultant force will be doubled and if the two forces act in the oppsite direction, the resultant force will be null or zero.


How can you Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of an object which is acted on by a force of 4.0N and a force of 10N that are in the same direction?

Add the resultant vectors 4 + 10 (and as they are in the same direction there will be no sine or cosine factors to worry about).Answer: 14N in the direction of the forces


When two forces P and Q acting along the same line then its resultant?

In that case, the resultant will either be the sum or the difference of the two forces (if they act in the same direction) or their difference (if they act in opposite directions).


When two or more forces are acting on an object in the same direction how do you calculate the net force?

You find the vector sum of all the forces. That is the resultant, or net, force.


When two forces act on an object in the same direction the resultant force is equal to the?

The equation is a+b=c. If two forces act on an object in the same direction (a and b) then the net force ( c ) is equal to sum of the two acting forces.


A resultant vector is?

a resultant vector not only the resultant of two or three vector. it is the resultant direction of two or many vectors.(let us push an object with same force in opposite direction the resultant is zero and if we push in same direction the force will double.if we pull a object with same force in x and y direction the resultant force in 45 degrees to x axis)


What is the maximum resultant possible when adding a 2 Newton force to a 8 Newton force?

10N if both forces are in the same direction.


Are the forces on a see saw balanced?

Only if both ends are at the same height. If a resultant force is more on one side than on the other side, then that will cause the side with the higher resultant to accelerate downwards or upwards, depending on the direction of the resultant force. The forces would be unbalanced in that system.
