Tista and Jhanvi are trying to move a large table. Jhanvi pushes with a force of 1150N and Tista helps her by pushing on the same side of the table with a force of 800N. Sketch the individual forces exerted on the table and then calculate and show the net force exerted on the table.

Dear Student,

The free body diagram for the forces acting on the table is shown below,


The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on the object. As both the forces acts in same direction thus the displacement will take place in the direction of the net force applied. The net force acting on the table will be,
 $$\begin{gathered} F_{net}=1150 N+800 N \\ {F}_{net}=1950 N \end{gathered}$$
