Answer:

60N

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force on the cabinet is 60N.

Net force is that single force that will act like all other forces on a body. The direction of the force and magnitude is very important when resolving forces.

Force applied by Mrs. Moran = 30N

Force applied by Mr. Moran = 30N

Since they each stood on both sides and pushed, the net force will be 30N + 30N = 60N
