An applied force of 87.8 N is used to accelerate an object to the right across a frictional surface.  The object weighs 54 N and encounters of friction force of 14 N.  What is the net force (in N) in the x-direction (parallel to direction of motion) [round your final answer to one decimal place]?


What is the direction for the x-component of net force (parallel to the direction of motion) in question 7 above?
