The net force acting on the crate is the sum of all the forces acting in the different directions on the crate, which is 176 N to the left.
The net force is defined as the sum of all the forces acting on an object.
From the figure given that,
Upward force = 440 N
Downward force = - 440 N
Rightward force = 176 N
Leftward Force = - 352 N
The net vertical force acting on the crate = Upward force + Downward force
= 440 N + (-440 N)
= 0 N
The net horizontal force acting on the crate = Rightward force + Leftward force
=176 N + (- 352 N)
= - 176 N
Hence, the net force acting on the crate is - 176 N, which is 176 N to the left.
