Final answer:

To calculate the net force of several forces all acting in the same direction, sum up all the individual forces, which in this case results in a net force of 200N.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the net force when multiple forces are involved, you simply add up all the forces if they are acting in the same direction. If forces are acting in opposite directions, you consider their directions while summing them up. Since the direction of the forces is not mentioned in the question, we will assume that all forces are acting in the same direction. Thus, the net force (Fnet) would be:

To calculate the net force, you need to add up all the individual forces acting on the object. In this case, you have the forces 40N, 42N, 25N, 15N, 20N, 18N, 13N, and 27N. To find the net force, simply add these values together:

  • 40N + 42N + 25N + 15N + 20N + 18N + 13N + 27N

Adding these values gives a net force of 200N.
