Answer:

Net force = 125N

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two forces be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Forward force, A = 150N

Backward force, B = 275N

To find the net force;

Since the two forces are acting in opposite directions, we would subtract them to get the net force.

Net force = B - A

Net force = 275 - 150

Net force = 125N
