Answer:

the net force /resultant force is 0N

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because newton's first law states that when there was no resultant force, the object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line.

as a result, the box is at rest. this the net for certain which is the resultant force is 0N, this doesn't mean that there is no force, it is just that the total force (after subtracting) is 0N

hope this helps,
