The net force = -5 N
The direction : to the left(negative sign)
Net force : the sum of all forces acting on an object
Force is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction,
We agree that the move up and to the right is a positive sign, while down and to the left is a negative sign.
The direction of the force (horizontal motion) is to the right (+32 N), and to the left (-37 N), so the net force :
[tex]\tt \sum F=F~right-F~left\\\\\sum F=32-37\\\\\sum F=-5~N[/tex]
