Diagram to show the minimum and maximum resultant force
beyene
Well, well, well, we've got some forces playing tug of war! Let's see what we can do with these 5N and 7N buddies.
To find the minimum resultant, we need to subtract the smaller force from the larger force. So, 7N - 5N gives us the minimum resultant of 2N.
As for the maximum resultant, we need to add those forces together. So, 5N + 7N equals 12N. That's the maximum resultant, folks!
Now, let me quickly sketch a diagram so you can picture this circus act. *drawing sounds*
5N ●----------------------○ 7N
There you have it! On the left, we've got our 5N force, and on the right, we've got our 7N force. The minimum resultant goes to the lighter side with a 2N force, while the maximum resultant flings itself wildly to the right with a whopping 12N force!
Hope that brings a little joy to your physics party!
To find the maximum and minimum resultant of the two forces, we can use the concept of vector addition. The maximum and minimum resultants occur when the forces are added in the same or opposite directions, respectively.
To find the maximum resultant, we add the two forces together:
Resultant = 5 N + 7 N = 12 N
To find the minimum resultant, we subtract the smaller force from the larger force:
Resultant = 7 N - 5 N = 2 N
Now, let's draw a diagram to show the minimum and maximum resultants:
For the maximum resultant, draw an arrow representing a force of 12 N. The direction of the arrow will depend on the given direction of the forces.
For the minimum resultant, draw an arrow representing a force of 2 N. The direction of the arrow will also depend on the given direction of the forces.
Note that since the question does not specify the direction of the forces, the diagram cannot be accurately drawn without that information.
together we make 7+5 = 12
opposite we make 5-7 = -2
in the same direction, 5+7=12
in opposite direction, 7-5=2
any any other direction between 2 and 12
