Question

The free-body diagram of a crate is shown. What is the net force acting on the crate? 352 N to the left 176 N to the left 528 N to the right 440 N to the right

Answer 1

As per given conditions there are two directions along which forces are acting

1. Net force along left direction is given as

$F_{left} = 352N + 176 N = 528 N$

2. Net force towards right direction is given as

$F_{right} = 528N + 440 N = 968 N$

now since the two forces here in opposite direction so here we will have net force given as

$F_{net} = F_{right} - F_{left}$

$F_{net} = 968 - 528$

$F_{net} = 440 N$

so here net forces must be 440 N towards right

Answer 2

the answer is 176 N to the left ..... i just took the test
