The net force is 20N in the direction of the 80N force.
Explanation:
The net force is the resultant force acting on a body. This force is that singular force that will have the same magnitude and effect as the network of forces on a body.
In this problem:
Force 1 = 80N
Force 2 = 60N
Net force = Force 1 - Force 2
Net force = 80N - 60N
Net force = 20N
The net force is 20N in the direction of the 80N force.
