  1. Question 1

    Q1. Two forces of 10 N and 6 N act on a body. What are the maximum and minimum possible magnitudes of their resultant force?

    • A) 10 N and 6 N
    • B) 16 N and 0 N
    • C) 14 N and 4 N
    • D) 16 N and 4 N

    Answer: 16 N and 4 N

    Explanation: Max resultant is 10+6=16N and min is 10-6=4N. Option B is wrong as it suggests the minimum can be zero.
