Mateo Santos · Answer 1

The box does not move.

Explanation:

Given data,

The force applied by Jose, F₁ = 6 N

The force applied by Gina, F₂ = - 6 N

The resultant force acting on the box,

Fₓ = F₁ + F₂

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

Fₓ = 6 N - 6 N

Fₓ = 0 N

If the net force acting on the box, there is no motion associated with the box.

Hence, the box does not move.
