The total north-south net force is the sum of the northward force minus the southward force.
Northward force = 960 N
Southward force = 105 N
Total north-south net force = 960 N - 105 N = 855 N
The total east-west net force is the sum of the eastward force minus the westward force.
Eastward force = 875 N
Westward force = 80 N
Total east-west net force = 875 N - 80 N = 795 N
Two workers are pushing on the same large crate. One worker pushes east with a force of 875 N, while the other worker pushes north with a force of 960 N. Friction between the crate and the floor is directed west with a force of 80 N and south with a force of 105 N. Assuming drag due to air resistance is negligible, what are the total north-south net forces and the total east-west net forces acting on the crate, causing it to accelerate across the floor?
