Problem

Three forces act along the same straight line on an object. Force 1 is 5.0 N5.0\,\text{N} toward the left. Force 2 is 2500 mN2500\,\text{mN} toward the right. Force 3 is 0.010 kN0.010\,\text{kN} toward the left. Calculate the resultant force acting on the object, giving its magnitude and direction.
