The net force applied to the object is the sum of the forces. In this case, the force of 30 N to the right and the force of 20 N to the left are opposite in direction.
To find the net force, simply subtract the smaller force from the larger force:
30 N - 20 N = 10 N
Therefore, the net force applied to the object is 10 N to the right.
