A box sits on a smooth table. 3 strings are attached to the box, each having a weight of 10 lbs attached to the other end. The box will move in direction?

  1. North

  2. South

  3. West

  4. D

The correct answer is: D

The box will not move in any direction. This is because the strings are attached to the box on each side, creating a balanced force. The weight on each side is equal, causing the net force to be zero. In this case, the box will remain stationary. The other options are incorrect, as the box will not move in a specific direction without an unbalanced force acting upon it.
