Solution

The resultant force acting on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on it.

Here, the forces acting on the object are:

  1. Two ropes each providing 3N of force. So, the total force due to the ropes is 2*3N = 6N.
  2. A resistive force due to friction which is 3N.

The resultant force is the total force due to the ropes minus the resistive force due to friction.

So, the resultant force = 6N - 3N = 3N.

Therefore, the resultant force acting on the object is 3N.
