Question

A wheelbarrow full of soil is being pulled to the right. Below the wheelbarrow is a free body diagram with 4 force vectors. The first vector is pointing downward, labeled F Subscript g Baseline = negative 800 N. The second vector is pointing left, labeled F Subscript f Baseline = negative 400 N. The third vector is pointing upward, labeled F Subscript N Baseline = 800 N. The fourth vector is pointing right labeled F Subscript t Baseline = 250 N. The up and down vectors are the same length. The vector pointing right is shorter than the vector pointing left.
Based on the free-body diagram, the net force acting on this wheelbarrow is
N.

Answer 1

Net horizontal force = 250 N (right) + (−400 N) (left) = −150 N.
So the net force is 150 N to the left (−150 N).
