Question

Willie stands on one side of a cart and pushes with a force of 100 Newtons. Jenny stands on the others side of a filing cabinet and pushes with a force of 100 Newtons. If Willie wants to help Jenny demonstrate balanced forces, what does Willie need to do?

Answer 1

Willie needs to keep same force acting by him on the cart inorder to balance the force.

Let's check how?

• F_1=100N
• F_2=-100N

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=100-100=0N$

.Hence verified
