Answer:
a) Fₓ = 23.5 N
b) Net force = Fₓ
Explanation:
An image of the question as described is attached to this solution.
From the image attached, the forces acting on the box include the weight of the box, the normal reaction of the surface on the box, the applied force on the box and the Frictional force opposing the motion of the box (which is negligible and equal to 0)
a) From the diagram, the horizontal component of the force is
Fₓ = 25 cos 20° = 23.49 N = 25 N
b) Again, from the diagram attached, doing a force balance on the box, in the horizontal direction, we obtain
Net force = Fₓ - Frictional force
But frictional force is 0 N
Net force = Fₓ
Hope this Helps!!!
