Question

A package crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left 200N to the right and friction. The weight of the crate is 400 N. If the 600 N force is removed what will be the resulting net force on the crate? A package crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left 200N to the right and friction. The weight of the crate is 400 N. If the 600 N force is removed what will be the resulting net force on the crate?

Explanation / Answer

F1 + F2 = 600 - 200 = 400 N to the left

object is at rest hence Fnet = 0

so Fapp + f = 0

f = - Fapp = - 400 N

so f is 400 N to the right.

m = W/g = 400/9.8 = 40.82 kg

value of friction is 400 N.

now Fapp = 200 N

and friction has value more than applied force. ''

so object will remain at rest .

and Fnet = m a = 0 .....Ans
