Two boxes need to be moved into storage Jamel and Jude each want to move a box. The force of gravity on both the boxes is 50 N. Jamal is lifting with a force of 60 N. And Jude is lifting with a force of 45 N. Which best describes the movement of the boxes

Jamal will be able to lift his box, because he's applying
more upward force to it than the downward force of gravity,
so the NET force on the box is 10N upward.

Jude won't be able to lift his box. He's applying LESS upward
force to it than the downward force of gravity, so the NET force
on his box is 5N downward.
