The figure above shows the forces exerted on a block that is sliding on a rough horizontal surface: The weight of the block is 500 N, the normal force is 500 N, the frictional force is 100 N, and there is an unknown force F exerted to the right. The acceleration of the block is 0.4 m/s2. The value of F is most nearly The figure above shows the forces exerted on a block that is sliding on a rough horizontal surface: The weight of the block is \(500 \, \text{N}\), the normal force is \(500 \, \text{N}\), the frictional force is \(100 \, \text{N}\), and there is an unknown force \(F\) exerted to the right. The acceleration of the block is \(0.4 \, \text{m/s}^2\). The value of \(F\) is most nearly:A) \(20 \, \text{N}\) B) \(80 \, \text{N}\) C) \(110 \, \text{N}\) D) \(120 \, \text{N}\) The diagram illustrates a force equilibrium scenario involving a box. Here’s a detailed explanation of the forces acting on the box:1. **Vertical Forces:** - An upward force of 500 N is applied at the top of the box. - A downward force of 500 N is applied at the bottom of the box. - These forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, indicating they are balanced vertically, resulting in no net vertical force.2. **Horizontal Forces:** - A leftward force of 100 N acts on the left side of the box. - A rightward force, labeled as \( F \), acts on the right side of the box. - To achieve horizontal equilibrium, \( F \) must be 100 N, counterbalancing the leftward force.This setup illustrates a case in which the forces on a body are balanced, achieving both vertical and horizontal equilibrium.
