Aforce of magnitude 33.73 lb directed toward the right is exerted on an object. what other force must be applied to the object so that the resultant force is zero?

33.73 lb to the left

Explanation:

You need to exert a force with the same magnitude, but opposite direction. You can visualize it in this way: When you push an object, the object will follow your path, but if there is another person opposing the force you are exerting, the object will just not move. If the force that the other person exerts were higher, then the object would move in the opposite direction. So, you need them to have the same magnitude.

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
