The equation is a+b=c. If two forces act on an object in the same direction (a and b) then the net force ( c ) is equal to sum of the two acting forces.

What does height equal?
The distance in the vertical direction.
What is length times width times height equal?
volume The 'Volume' of an object or space
When is the vector sum not equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
The magnitude of the vector sum will only equal the magnitude of algebraic sum, when the vectors are pointing in the same direction.
Which is greater 200cm or 2m?
1 meter = 100 cm 2 meters = 200 cm They are both the same, equal to each other
A pressure of 101.3 kPa is equal to Pa?
To convert kPa to Pa, just multiply by 1000 - since the prefix "kilo" ("k") means "times 1000".
If there are two equal and opposite forces on something you say the forces are?
If the forces are balanced they will have no action or the object, if not they will accelerate the object in the resultant direction of the two forces..
How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?
The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
What will happen if two forces are equal?
Force is a vector. So only depending on the direction of the forces we can give the resultant.
When 2 forces act on an object in the same directions the resultant force is equal to the?
vector sum of the two forces.
What is th resultant force between balanced force?
"Balanced forces" means that the sum of all forces acting on an object - i.e., the resultant force - is equal to zero.
Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called unbalanced forces?
False forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate.
When two forces are acting on an object are equal what are they?
Two equal forces (equal in magnitude and direction) result in simply double each individual force. However, if the forces are acting opposite to each other they will cancel each other out and they cause a resultant force of zero. This means the object is in linear equilibrium and is either moving at a constant speed or is stationary.

Are unbalanced forces equal in size and opposite in direction?
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
What forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction?
Do you mean buoyancy? They are said to be balanced, because their net sum, or resultant, is zero.
What is an example when resultant force is zero but resultant torque is not zero?
A couple: 2 parallel forces equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction separated by a distance.
What are the forces on an object that are equal in strength but opposite in direction?
the answer is equilibriumequilibrium
