Small box with dot in the middle. Arrows originate at dot. Arrow up and Arrow down are same length. Arrow up labeled F sub norm equals 20 N and Arrow down labeled F sub grav equals 20 N. Arrow to the right is longer than arrow to the left. Arrow to the right is labeled F sub app equals 22 N and arrow to the left is labeled F sub frict equals 14 N.

The net force on the object can be found by subtracting the force in the opposite direction from the force in the desired direction.

F_net = F_app - F_frict

F_net = 22 N - 14 N

F_net = 8 N

Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 newtons.
