Answer:
Explanation:
Two boys were each pushing a box to the right, one boy applied a force of 3N and the other boy applied a force of 5N.
Total force applied to the left = 3 + 5 = 8 N . The forces are added up because they act in the same direction .
Another boy was pushing the box to the left with a force of 8N.
8 N force acts opposite to the total force of 8 N exerted by two earlier boys so
net force = 8N - 8N = 0 .
Net force on the box = 0 .
