Three forces act along a straight line in one direction on the body: F1 = 50H, F2 = 100H, F3 = 180H.

Three forces act along a straight line in one direction on the body: F1 = 50H, F2 = 100H, F3 = 180H. What is the resultant of these forces?

Given:

F1 = 50 Newton – the value of the first force;

F2 = 100 Newton – the value of the second force;

F3 = 180 Newton – the value of the third force.

It is required to determine the resultant forces F (Newton).

Since, according to the condition of the problem, all forces act along one straight line and in one direction, the resultant forces will be equal to:

F = F1 + F2 + F3 = 50 + 100 + 180 = 330 Newtons.

Answer: the resultant of all three forces is 330 Newtons.
