TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Understanding the definition of the net force

A force is described as a push or pull on an object that occurs due to the interaction of one system with a different system. When two items interact, each of them experiences a force.

Step 2: Calculation for the net force

To calculate the net force acting on this system, combine all forces.

Add both the given forces as

${\vec{F}}_{net} = \vec{F_{1}} + \vec{F_{2}} Substitute the values in the above expression . {\vec{F}}_{net} = < 18, 47, - 23 > N + < - 20, - 13, 41 > N . = < - 2, 34, 18 > N . Therefore, the net force acting on the system is < - 2, 34, 18 > N .$
