Since the forces act in opposite directions, just subtract them.
Forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, if you push against a brick wall and it doesn't move or become deformed, then the brick wall is exerting an equal force against you.
When two equal forces act in opposite directions, they are called balanced forces, and no motion takes place. If they are unequal, than the weakest force is cancelled out, along with an equal amount of the strongest force. For example, if an object is being pushed on opposite sides with 7 and 10 newtons of force, then the 7 newton force will be entirely cancelled out, along with 7 newtons of the 10 newton force. This will leave a net force of 3 newtons acting on the object. If there is a net force (also called an unbalanced force), then motion will take place.
No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.
The net force is 15.4-9.2=6.2 Newtons in the direction of the 15.4 force.
If each horse is pulling with 100 newtons of force, then this is a balanced force system in a Static State.
Since the forces act in opposite directions, just subtract them.
An object at rest pulled in opposite directions by unequal forces will start to move in the direction of the net force. For example, if I have a chair, and I'm pushing with 10 newtons to the right, and my sister is pushing 5 newtons to the left, the net force is 5 newtons to the right. Therefore, I win, and the chair moves to the right, in the direction of the net force.
It depends on the angle between the two forces. It can be anything from 1 newton (if they're acting in exactly opposite directions) to 7 newtons (if they're acting in exactly the same direction).
Forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, if you push against a brick wall and it doesn't move or become deformed, then the brick wall is exerting an equal force against you.
When two forces cancel each other, they are called balanced forces. Nothing happens when balanced forces are involved. Motion and anything else relating to force can only happen when there are unbalanced forces involved. If there are two opposite but unequal forces, then there is a net force. The net force is the difference between the two forces, and it acts in the direction of the strongest force. For example, if there are two people pushing on the same box in opposite directions, and one exerts 10 newtons of force, and the other exerts 15 newtons, then the net force will be 5 newtons, and it will be in the direction of the force applied by the person exerting 15 newtons.
