VECTOR DIAGRAMS 1
Question 1:

A person pushes a box with a force of 50 N to the right, while another person pushes it with a force of 30 N to the
left. Draw a vector diagram to represent the forces acting on the box and determine the net force.

Question 2:

A car is being pulled by two ropes. Rope A exerts a force of 200 N to the east, while Rope B exerts a force of 150 N to
the west. Draw a vector diagram to represent the forces acting on the car and determine the net force.

Question 3:

A rocket is launched with an initial force of 5000 N upwards, while gravity exerts a force of 4000 N downwards. Draw
a vector diagram to represent the forces acting on the rocket and determine the net force.

Question 4:

A ball is thrown with a force of 30 N at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal, and another force of 20 N is
applied horizontally. Draw a vector diagram to represent the forces acting on the ball and determine the resultant
force.

Question 5:

A book is on a table. The weight of the book is 15 N downwards, and the normal force exerted by the table is 15 N
upwards. Draw a vector diagram to represent the forces acting on the book and determine the net force.
