To determine the best description of the forces acting on the box, we need to consider the forces according to the scenario presented.
If the box has a force of 14 N acting in one direction (let's say to the left), and there is another force of 8 N acting in the opposite direction (to the right), we can calculate the net force:
Net Force = Force to the Left - Force to the Right
Net Force = 14 N - 8 N = 6 N to the left
Since the forces acting on the box are not equal, they are unbalanced. Therefore, the correct statement is:
**The box is experiencing unbalanced forces with a net force of 6 Newtons to the left.**
