Question

the forces represented by the arrows in the diagrams are applied to the four objects that are at rest on a table. which object is most likely to remain in place? object z object x object y object w

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate net force for each object

For object \(W\): Net force \(F_W=25 - 20=5N\) (left - right direction).
For object \(X\): Net force \(F_X = 20-(5 + 5)=10N\) (left - right direction).
For object \(Y\): Net force \(F_Y=45 - 35 = 10N\) (left - right direction).
For object \(Z\): Net force \(F_Z=25 - 25=0N\) (left - right direction).

Answer:

Object \(Z\)
