In the Freebody diagram the magnitude of the normal force is 40 N, the friction force is 25N, the net force is 80N. what is the magnitude of the applied force?

Answer:

Explanation:

Without the FBD or a good description of the set up, I'd have to say we cannot tell.

If the set up is of the simplest form with a mass on a horizontal surface being acted on by a horizontal force, then that force must be 80 + 25 = 105 N.

As force is a vector, there are an infinite number of other possibilities for force magnitude depending on which direction the force is acting. The mass is also an unknown variable that would affect the applied force magnitude if the direction is not horizontal.
