Question

31 n ←, 85 n ←, 60 n →, score: 0, net force 56 n left, net force 42 n left, net force 56 n right, net force 42 n right

Explanation:

Step1: Sum left - directed forces

Left forces: \( 85\,\text{N} + 31\,\text{N} = 116\,\text{N} \) (left - directed forces add up as they are in the same direction).

Step2: Calculate net force

Net force \( F_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{left}} - F_{\text{right}} \) (since left and right are opposite directions). So \( F_{\text{net}} = 116\,\text{N}-60\,\text{N}=56\,\text{N} \). Since left force is greater, net force is to the left.

Answer:

Net Force 56 N Left
