Question

Calculate the net force.

555n - 360n

Answer 1

To calculate the net force when you have two forces acting in opposite directions, you subtract the smaller force from the larger force. The forces in your example are 555 N and 360 N.

So, the net force is:

555 N - 360 N = 195 N

The net force acting on the object is 195 newtons in the direction of the larger force.
