A wooden box on a smooth floor is acted upon by two horizontal forces. Student A pushes the box with a force of 20N directed 30∘ north of east, while Student B pulls it with a force of 15N due south.
a. (a) Select a suitable scale and draw both forces from a common point so that their magnitudes and directions are correctly represented.
b. (b) Measure the diagram to determine the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the box.
c. (c) Will the box accelerate? Justify your answer on the basis of the net force obtained.
