Answer 1

Based on the information you provided, the box experiences forces of 14 N on the left side and 8 N on the right side.

To determine the net force acting on the box, we subtract the smaller force from the larger one:

• Left Force: 14 N
• Right Force: 8 N

Net Force = Left Force - Right Force = 14 N - 8 N = 6 N to the left.

Since the forces are unbalanced (14 N vs. 8 N), the box will not remain at rest. Instead, it will move in the direction of the larger force, which is to the left.

Therefore, the correct response is:

The box experiences unbalanced forces and it moves to the left.
