Draw a right triangle with sides 2.5N and the other side 6.5N. Using the pythagorean theorem, you can find the hypotenuse, which is the net force.
c^2=2.5^2+6.5^2
solve for c.

∙ 12y agoThe resultant is a force of 7.211 n (rounded) aimed toward 56.31 degrees (rounded)
above the horizontal, or toward 33.7 degrees (rounded) down from the vertical.

∙ 9y agoYou can use the Pythagorean Theorem for this one: the length of the diagonal (in a right triangle) is, in this case, the square root of (6 squared + 4 squared).

How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
A cricket ball is projected vertically upward what kind of acceleration is acting on the ball?
a cricket ball is projected vertically upward direction.what kind of acceleration is acting on it
What is the result resultant acceleration?
Acceleration is a vector, meaning each acceleration has both magnitude and direction. The resultant of vectors is basically the net acceleration on the object expressed as a single vector. For example, if there are two vectors each with a magnitude of 2 meters/(seconds squared) acting on an object and these vectors were placed on the x and y axes then you could represent this system of 2 vectors 90 degrees apart each with a magnitude of two meters/(seconds squared) as one vector of 45 degrees with a magnitude of 2 times the square root of 2 meters/(seconds squared).

What is the magnitude of the resultant force in Newtons acting on an object that has 2 forces acting in same direction having magnitudes of 15 N and 25 N and a 3rd force acting perpendicular at 30 N?
Add forces 1 and 2 = 40N Magnitude of resultant = root[402+302] = 50N [Also, this is at an angle of 36.9 degrees to the 30N force]
What is the definition of the resultant of two or more vectors?
The "resultant" is the description (magnitude and direction) of a single vector that would have the same effect as the two or more vectors have when they're all acting at the same time.
Can the resultant of 3 vectors be 0?
Yes. A simple case would be a vector 2a acting at a point in one direction and two vectors, each of magnitude a, acting at the same point in the opposite direction.
What is the Definition of polygon law?
All the concurrent forces acting at a point can be represented by a polygon's sides closing with the resultant force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?
The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
Is it possible for an object not to be in full motion and still have forces acting on it?
Yes hanging load. Its weight ie force due to gravity is acting downward. And the tension the rope is acting upward. Both the forces are acting on the load but as they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction the resultant becomes zero.
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
How the acceleration of a body related to its mass and the resultant force acting on it?
At what angle is the resultant force acting?
it is acting opposite the the equilibrium.
What is the polygon law of forces?
" If a number of forces acting at a point be represented in magnitude ad direction by the sides of a polygon in order, then the resultant of all these forces may be represented in magnitude and direction by the closing side of the polygon taken in opposite order "
What is equilibrant forces?
The force is said to be "equilibrant" when acting with other forces it would keep the body at rest ie in equilibrium. Hence equilibrant would be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of all the forces acting on the body.
Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?
no. a force acting perpendicularly on a body cannot cancel a force which is acting horizontally on the same body.!!!!
What is the overall force acting on an object?
the resultant force
