Answer: 20 newtons
Explanation:
Given that:
Force applied by Samantha = 10 newtons
Force applied by Emily = 10 newtons
Direction of both forces = same
Net force of their efforts = ?
Since net force of forces applied in the same direction is obtained by adding up the seperate forces applied, then
Net force = (10 newtons + 10 newtons)
Net force = 20 newtons
Thus, the net force of their efforts is 20 newtons.
