Suppose a man is sitting on a chair and exerting 100 N of force downward, while a spring beneath the chair exerts 150 N of force upward. If you assign a negative value to the downward force, what is the net force of this system?(1 point)

-50 N
The net force of this system can be calculated by finding the sum of the forces. Since the downward force is assigned a negative value, it can be considered as -100 N. The upward force exerted by the spring is 150 N.
Net force = -100 N + 150 N = 50 N.
Therefore, the net force of this system is 50 N.
