Answer:
The net force on the hovercraft is 11200 N.
Explanation:
Given;
force exerted on the hovercraft by wind, F₁ = 5000 N north
force exerted on the hovercraft by the propeller, F₂ = 10,000 N west
The net force on the hovercraft is calculated as;
[tex]F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2} \\\\F_{net} = \sqrt{5000^2 + 10,000^2} \\\\F_{net} = 11180.34 \ N\\\\F_{net} = 11200 \ N \ (3.s.f)[/tex]
Therefore, the net force on the hovercraft is 11200 N.
