Answer:
C. less than 950 N.
Explanation:
Given that
Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N
Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N
Lets take resultant force R
The angle between force = θ
θ = 45°
The resultant force R
[tex]R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}[/tex]
[tex]R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}[/tex]
R= 877.89 N
Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.
C. less than 950 N
Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.
