10 N to the left
10 N to the left

50 N to the right

10 N to the right

Answer 1

To find the net force applied to the object, we subtract the force acting to the left from the force acting to the right:

Net force = Force to the right - Force to the left
Net force = 30 N (right) - 20 N (left)
Net force = 10 N (right)

Thus, the net force applied to the object is 10 N to the right.
