QUESTION 2/VRAAG 2
2.1 A single force
having the same effect as all other forces acting together.
'n Enkele krag
wat dieselfde effek het as al die ander kragte tesame. (2)
2.2 Upward positive/Opwaarts positief: Notes/Aantekeninge:
F net = F + w + f The force of 1 550 N must have an
= 1 550 + (-1 480) + (-20) opposite sign than the other two
= 1 550 – 1 500 forces.
= 50
Die krag van 1 550 N moet 'n teken
∴ F net = 50 N upwards/opwaarts
hê wat die teenoorgestelde is van
die ander twee kragte.
Upward negative/Opwaarts negatief:
F net = F + w + f
= -1 550 + (1480 + 20)
= -1 550 + 1 500 (3)
= -50
∴ F net = 50 N upwards/opwaarts
