A horizontal force of 480 n is applied to a stationary wooden box in one direction and a 600 n horizontal force is applied in the opposite direction. What is the additional force is needed for the box to remain stationary

Step-by-step explanation:

In a static position, the sum of the forces is always 0.

so:

F1 = 480 N

F2 = -600 N

F3 = ?

F1 + F2 + F3 = 0

480 - 600 + F3 = 0

F3 = 120 N (the answer is positive, so the force acts in the same direction as F1)

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
