The additional force must be added to produce equilibrium is 5 N force acting in the same direction as the 10 N force (Option A)

Data obtained from the question

  • Force to the left = 10 N
  • Force to the right = 15 N
  • Additional force =?

How to determine the additional force

To have equilibrium,

Force to the left = force to the right

But

The force to the right is greater than the force to the left.

Thus,

Force to the left + additional force = force to the right

10 + additional force = 15 N

Collect like terms

Additional force = 15 - 10

Additional force = 5 N

Therefore, an additional force of 5 N acting in the same direction of the 10 N force is needed to obtain the equilibrium of the system (Option A)
