Answer:

90N

Explanation:

The total resultant force acting on the desk being pushed by Sara and Carlo is 90N

A resultant force is a singular force that will act the same effect as the forces acting on a body.

  • When two or more forces acts on a body in the same direction, their resultant is the sum of the individual forces.
  • If it is in the opposite direction, the differences is the resultant force.
  • The body will move in the direction of the applied force with a higher magnitude

So;

  Resultant force = Force applied by Sara + Force applied by Carlo

  Resultant force  = 50N + 40N  = 90N
