Question

20 n ← ◯ → 44 n
61 n ← ◯ → 81 n
score: 2
net force 44 n right
net force 52 n right
net force 44 n left
net force 52 n left

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate left - direction total force

Forces in the left direction: \(20\,\text{N}+ 61\,\text{N}=81\,\text{N}\)

Step2: Calculate right - direction total force

Forces in the right direction: \(44\,\text{N}+81\,\text{N} = 125\,\text{N}\)

Step3: Calculate net force

Net force \(F_{\text{net}}=\text{Right force}-\text{Left force}=125 - 81=44\,\text{N}\), and since right force is greater, direction is right.

Answer:

Net Force \(44\,\text{N}\) Right (the first option: Net Force \(44\,\text{N}\) Right)
