Question

73 n ← 27 n
30 n ← 52 n
score: 3
net force 20 n right
net force 20 n left
net force 24 n left
net force 24 n right

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate left - direction total force

Left - direction forces are \(73\space N\) and \(30\space N\). So the total left - force \(F_{left}=73 + 30=103\space N\).

Step2: Calculate right - direction total force

Right - direction forces are \(27\space N\) and \(52\space N\). So the total right - force \(F_{right}=27 + 52 = 79\space N\).

Step3: Calculate net force

Net force \(F_{net}=F_{left}-F_{right}\) (since left force is larger). So \(F_{net}=103 - 79 = 24\space N\), and the direction is left (because left force is greater than right force).

Answer:

Net Force \(24\space N\) Left
