A large box remains at rest on a sidewalk while a person pushes on it with a force to the right.
Which of the following choices shows the correct force diagram for this situation?
Responses
A man on the left side of a box on a sidewalk. Normal force vector (surface on box) points up from the ground; an equal gravitational force vector (Earth on box) points down onto the box. A friction force vector (surface on box) points right into the box; an equal applied force vector (man on box) points left into the box.

A man on the left side of a box on a sidewalk. Normal force vector (surface on box) points up; an equal gravitational force vector (Earth on box) points down. A short friction force vector (surface on box) points left; a longer applied force vector (man on box) points right.

A man on the left side of a box on a sidewalk. Normal force vector (surface on box) points up; an equal gravitational force vector (Earth on box) points down. A long friction force vector (surface on box) points left; a shorter applied force vector (man on box) points right.

can you show a picture
I'm sorry, as an AI language model, I don't have the ability to display images. However, you can refer to the description provided in my previous response to visualize the force diagram for the given situation.
The correct force diagram for this situation is:
A man on the left side of a box on a sidewalk. The normal force vector (surface on box) points up; an equal gravitational force vector (Earth on box) points down. A friction force vector (surface on box) points left; an equal applied force vector (man on box) points right.
