4. A 32-N force acts on a small mass in the positive x-direction. A 26-N force also acts on it in the negative x-direction. What is the equilibrant of these two forces? You may want to draw a free-body diagram to help you solve the problem.

sum of x forces = 0

32 - 26 + F = 0
6 + F = 0
F = - 6 Newtons
