Answer:
<em>The net force acting on the object is 0 N</em>
Explanation:
<u>Newton's Second Law of Forces</u>
The net force acting on a body is proportional to the mass of the object and its acceleration.
The net force can be calculated as the sum of all the force vectors in each rectangular coordinate separately.
The image shows a free body diagram where four forces are acting: two in the vertical direction and two in the horizontal direction.
Note the forces in the vertical direction have the same magnitude and opposite directions, thus the net force is zero in that direction.
Since we are given the acceleration a =0, the net force is also 0, thus the horizontal forces should be in equilibrium.
The applied force of Fapp=10 N is compensated by the friction force whose value is, necessarily Fr=10 N in the opposite direction.
The net force acting on the object is 0 N
