Two forces, 3 newtons (N) and 2 N, act to the right. Calculate the resultant force. When two forces that act in opposite directions it is often easiest to subtract the magnitude of the smaller ...

Two forces can be added together to find a resultant force. In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when two children pull on the handle, one with a force of 3 newtons (N) to the left and one with ...
