Agirl pushes on a table with a 5-newton force directed to the east. her friend pushes on the same table with a 10- newton force directed south. which of the following diagrams best depicts the action of the two friends?

Explanation:

It is given that, a girl pushes on a table with a 5-newton force directed to the east. Her friend pushes on the same table with a 10- newton force directed south.  

We know that force is a vector quantity. So, diagram that depicts the action of two friends is option (d). The magnitude of the resultant force is given by :

R = 11.18 N

Hence, the correct option is (D).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get
