To determine the net force acting on the box, we can analyze the forces as follows:
- There is a force of 14 Newtons acting to the left.
- There is a force of 8 Newtons acting to the right.
To find the net force:
1. Subtract the smaller force from the larger force to find the net force in the direction of the larger force:
\[
\text{Net Force} = 14 \text{ N (left)} - 8 \text{ N (right)} = 6 \text{ N (left)}
\]
Since the net force is 6 Newtons to the left, the correct statement is:
**The box is experiencing unbalanced forces with a net force of 6 Newtons to the left.**
- There is a force of 14 Newtons acting to the left.
- There is a force of 8 Newtons acting to the right.
