Question
Two persons are applying forces on two opposite sides of a moving cart. The cart still moves with the same speed in the same direction. What do you infer about the magnitudes and direction of the forces applied?
Solution
The magnitude of forces will be equal and it acts in opposite direction, so that they are cancelling each other. We can understand this by using the following diagram :
