Respuesta :

The answer is C. 10 Newtons to the left. Hope that helps.

Answer:

10 Newtons to the left.

Explanation:

From the attached figure, it can be seen that the force acting towards right and left are [tex]F_r\ and\ F_l[/tex] such that,

Let us consider the force acting towards right are positive and negative for towards left.

[tex]F_r=10\ N[/tex]

[tex]F_l=-20\ N[/tex]

Let F is the net force acting on the box. It is equal to :

[tex]F=F_l+F_r[/tex]

[tex]F=-20+10[/tex]

F = -10 N

So, the resultant force acting on the box is 10 N and it is acting towards left. Hence, the correct option is (c).
