If 5n of force are applied to the right side of a box and 3n are applied to the left, which way will it go?

Question

anonymous · Answer

while it does not matter what side they are applied to what matters is the direction I am going to assume that the application to one side will result in movement of the opposite direction eg applying a force to the right side moves it left

so now we draw a picture and choose a co-ordinate system I will take the right to be positive and left negative
