Verified answer

maximum resultant: 45 = a + b

minimum resultant: 5 = a - b

Solve for a in the first equation then substitute it into the second equation:

a = 45 - b

5 = 45 - b -b

5 - 45 = -2b

-40 = -2b

20 = b

Since we know the value for b we can substitute it into the first equation to find the value for a:

45 = a + 20

45 - 20 = a

25 = a

So the magnitude of each of these forces are 20N, 25N.

How do you solve for the resultant if two forces are in the same direction?

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.


What is the minimum resultant possible when adding a 5-N force to an 8 N force?

The maximum resultant occurs when the forces act in the same direction. Its magnitude is 15 N.


If three concurrent forces are in equilibrium what is the relation between any one of the three forces and the resultant of the other two forces?

They have equal magnitudes and opposite directions.


What should be angle between two forces in order to get maximum result?

Zero. Forces combine as vectors. The magnitude of the resultant force is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two combining forces only when the forces are parallel. Caveat: This does assume that the "maximum result" desired is a single force, such as would be relevant in producing the linear acceleration of a mass. If, for instance, one wanted to produce the maximum torque as a "result," the points (locations) where the forces were applied would make a difference and there are circumstances where torque would be maximized by oppositely directed forces.


What is the magnitude of the resultant force when forces of magnitude are combined?

-- When forces of unequal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be anything between the difference and sum of the individual magnitudes, depending on the angle between them. -- When forces of equal magnitude are added, the magnitude of the sum can be anything between zero and double the individual magnitudes, depending on the angle between them.

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.

Two forces one 500 gf and the other 800gf act upon a body what are the maximum and minimum possible values of the resultant force?

If the act together (in the same direction), the resultant force is the sum - 1300 gf (whatever that abbreviation means!). This is the maximum. If they act in opposite directions, the resultant force is the difference, 300 gf - and this is the minimum.

If two identical forces are acting on a body find the angle when resultant is maximum?

Zero degrees. This essentially adds up the forces.


What is maximum and minimum electric flux?

As we know that electric flux is the total number of electric lines of forces passing through a surface. Maximum Flux: Electric flux through a surface will be maximum when electric lines of forces are perpendicular to the surface. Minimum flux: Electric flux through a surface will be minimum or zero when electric lines of forces are parallel to the surface.


How do you figure out net force for opposing forces?

If the opposing forces are pulling exactly opposite of each other, then take the difference of the magnitudes of the two forces (subtract the smaller value from the larger value), and the direction vector of the resultant force is in the same direction as the larger force.
