Answer:
[tex]5\sqrt{2} \ N[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
A 5-newton force directed east and a 5-newton force directed north.
We need to find the resultant of the two forces.
As the two forces are acting in perpendicular to each other. The resultant of two such forces is given by :
[tex]F=\sqrt{5^2+5^2} \\\\=5\sqrt{2} \ N[/tex]
So, the resulatnt force is [tex]5\sqrt{2} \ N[/tex]
