Answer:

FNet = 437N

Explanation:

The equation for net force is

FNet = Fa + Fg + Ff + FN. where FNet is the net force, Fa is the applied force and Fg is the force due to gravity, Ff is the frictional force and FN is the normal force

We do not have a normal force or a force due to gravity

FNet = Fa + Ff

Applied force Fa = 837 N

The frictional force works opposite the applied force

Frictional force Ff = -400 N

FNet = 837 - 400

FNet = 437N
