What is the minimum resultant possible when adding a 5-n force to an 8-n force?

Good morning.

The maximum and minimum resultant happens when both vectors are in the same line. For maximum, put them pointing to the same place. For minumum, they point opposite ways.

Therefore, the minimum resultant is calculated with a subtraction:



The absolute value of the minimum forece is 3 N. The signal only says if it is in the same directions as the orientation adopted.

I hope it helps :)
