Question 1 Report

The resultant of two forces acting on an object is maximum if the angle between them is
Answer Details
When two forces are acting on an object, their resultant is the total force that produces the same effect as the individual forces combined. The magnitude and direction of the resultant depend on the magnitudes and directions of the individual forces. The angle between the forces affects the magnitude of the resultant force. The maximum resultant force occurs when the forces are acting in the same direction, which means the angle between them is 0 degrees. As the angle between the forces increases, the magnitude of the resultant force decreases. Therefore, the answer is 0 degrees.
