As shown in the figure below, the two forces are parallel and in the same direction. A pushes with 20N and B pulls with 60N. Find the net equivalent force on the box.
Definition- Force is defined as an effect that causes a body to change its state.
Force on 1 kg mass in the presence of gravity
Unit of force-
In SI unit- Newton(N)
In CGS- 1 dyne (1 newton = 100000 dyne)
1 Newton(N) is the force needed to accelerate an object with a mass of 1 kg at a rate of 1 m/s2 (1 N = 1 kg · m/s2)
2. Types of forces-
a) Contact forces-
Contact forces are due to direct physical contact between objects.
Types of contact forces-
b) Non-contact forces-
These forces act without the necessity of physical contact between objects.
They depend on the presence of a “field” in the region of space surrounding the body under consideration.
Types of non-contact forces-
c) Weak forces-
Vanderwaal force
d) Nuclear forces
