To determine the direction in which the book will move, we need to analyze the net force acting on it.
- The pushing force is 7 N to the right.
- The frictional force is 3 N to the left.
To find the net force, we subtract the frictional force from the pushing force:
Net Force = Pushing Force - Frictional Force Net Force = 7 N (right) - 3 N (left) = 4 N (right)
Since the net force is 4 N to the right, the book will move to the right.
So the answer is: The book will move to the right.
