Two students push on the opposite sides of a crate, with the force applied by each student in newtons (N), as shown in the diagram. 40 N 53 N Assuming the crate is on a frictionless surface, describe the effect of these forces on the crate. • Will the crate move toward the left, toward the right, or not at all? • What is the direction and the magnitude of the net force on the crate?
