From the image, it looks like you are working on a physics problem related to forces and momentum. The problem asks for the net force in the x and y directions for a particular system of forces. You are also given a multiple-choice question regarding momentum conservation in both x and y directions.

### To solve for the net x and y forces in Box (c):
- You need to break down the forces acting on the system into components along the x-axis and y-axis.
  
#### Forces in the x-direction:
- Forces pointing to the right (positive x direction) will be considered positive.
- Forces pointing to the left (negative x direction) will be considered negative.

#### Forces in the y-direction:
- Forces pointing upwards (positive y direction) will be considered positive.
- Forces pointing downwards (negative y direction) will be considered negative.

#### Diagram (c) forces:
1. **4 N force at 60° to the x-axis**:
   - Horizontal component: \( 4 \cos(60°) \) = 2 N (positive x direction)
   - Vertical component: \( 4 \sin(60°) \) = 3.46 N (positive y direction)
   
2. **5 N force downward**:
   - Only affects the y-axis: -5 N (negative y direction)
   
3. **6 N force to the right**:
   - Only affects the x-axis: 6 N (positive x direction)
   
4. **6 N force to the left**:
   - Only affects the x-axis: -6 N (negative x direction)

### Net force in the x-direction:
\[
F_x = (2\ \text{N from 4N at 60°}) + (6\ \text{N to the right}) - (6\ \text{N to the left}) = 2\ \text{N}
\]
   
### Net force in the y-direction:
\[
F_y = (3.46\ \text{N from 4N at 60°}) - (5\ \text{N downward}) = -1.54\ \text{N}
\]

So, the **net x-force** is 2 N, and the **net y-force** is -1.54 N.

### Conservation of Momentum:
Based on the given forces, the system is not in equilibrium because the net forces in both the x and y directions are non-zero. This means momentum is **not conserved** in either direction.

#### Would you like further details or explanations? 
Here are 5 follow-up questions:
1. How can you determine whether momentum is conserved in a system?
2. What happens if the net force on a system is zero?
3. How do angles affect the resolution of forces in different directions?
4. What is the importance of breaking forces into components?
5. How do different types of forces (e.g., friction, tension) influence momentum?

**Tip:** Always resolve forces into their components when working with inclined or angled forces.

What is the net x force? What is the net y force?
