Problem
A wooden block is simultaneously subjected to three forces: 6N to the right, 8N upward, and 6N to the left. Which of the following statements about the net force on the block and its likely effect is correct?
(a) The net force is 14N upward; the block will accelerate strongly upward.
(b) The net force is 8N upward; the block will accelerate upward.
(c) The net force is zero; the block will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion.
(d) The net force is 2N to the right; the block will accelerate toward the right.
