There is no force acting on the large box.

<h3>What is the force according to Newton's law?</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum with respect to time.
Mathematically, force = mass × acceleration
And acceleration = velocity/ time
Here, the large box is moving with constant velocity. So its velocity is not changing with time.
So velocity / time = zero i.e. acceleration= zero
It leads to the force to be zero.

Thus, we can conclude that the force on the large box is zero.
