Net Positive or Negative Force

on 21 February 2018. Posted in Classical Mechanics

Two forces can add or subtract to the net force when the forces act on each other. Forces in the same direction working togeather equal a net force.

Net Positive Force formula
\( F_n = F_1 + F_2 \) (Net Positive Force) \( F_1 = F_n - F_2 \) \( F_2 = F_n - F_1 \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( F_n \) = Net Force	\( lbf \)	\(N\)
\( F_1 \) = Force 1	\( lbf \)	\(N\)
\( F_2 \) = Force 2	\( lbf \)	\(N\)

Net Negative Force formula
\( F_n = F_1 - F_2 \) (Net Negative Force) \( F_1 = F_n + F_2 \) \( F_2 = F_1 - F_n \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( F_n \) = Net Force	\( lbf \)	\(N\)
\( F_1 \) = Force 1	\( lbf \)	\(N\)
\( F_2 \) = Force 2	\( lbf \)	\(N\)
