Question

net force:
forces are: balanced unbalanced
object will:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate vertical net force

Vertical forces: 16N up and 16N down.
$F_{vertical} = 16N - 16N = 0N$

Step2: Calculate horizontal net force

Horizontal forces: 42N left and 21N right.
$F_{horizontal} = 42N - 21N = 21N$ (left direction)

Step3: Determine total net force

Total net force equals horizontal net force (vertical is zero).
$F_{net} = 21N$ (left)

Step4: Check balanced/unbalanced

Net force ≠ 0, so forces are unbalanced.

Step5: Object's motion

Unbalanced force causes acceleration left.

Answer:

Net force: 21 N
Forces are: unbalanced
Object will: accelerate to the left
