First, I will restate the situation to ensure we’re analyzing the same setup: we have forces acting on an object with A = 187 N and B = 200 N, and the diagram shows forces in different directions (one horizontal, one vertical). Since the question is a free-body diagram problem, the net force is the vector sum of all individual forces.

Option-by-option reasoning is not applicable here because there are no multiple-choice options provided. Instead, I’ll walk through plausible ways to interpret the net force based on common FBD scenarios:

- Scenario 1: If Force A and Force B are the only two forces acting and they are perpendicular (one horizontal, one vertical), the net force is the vector sum of 187 N (e.g., to the left) and 200 N (e.g., downward or upward). For a horizontal component of 187 N and a vertical component of 200 N, the magnitude is √(187^2 + 200^2) = √(34969 + 40000) = √(74969) ≈ 273.9 N. The direction would be given by arctan(vertical/horizontal) relative to the horizontal axis.

- Scenario 2: If both forces act along the same line (collinear) but opposite directions, the net force is the difference of their magnitudes. For example, if A = 187 N acts to the left and B = 200 N acts to the right along the same line, the net horizontal force is |200 − 187| = 13 N in the direction of the larger force (to the right). If, instead, both act downward or upward along the same line with opposite senses, the net would be |200 − 187| = 13 N along the stronger direction.

- Scenario 3: If there are additional forces present (for example, the diagram includes a 50 N horizontal force to the right or other labeled forces), you would include them in the vector sum as appropriate, taking care to use consistent directions and signs for components before combining.

In the provided prompt, the stated answer is 63 N. If we attempt to reproduce 63 N from the given numbers, none of the standard simple combinations of 187 N and 200 N give exactly 63 N as a resultant (for example, a simple difference is 13 N, not 63 N; a perpendicular combination gives about 274 N; a sum along a line cannot yield 63 N from 187 and 200 unless additional forces or a different geometry are involved). This suggests a possible mismatch between the text (187 N and 200 N) and the diagram labeling (e.g., a 50 N or other forces), or the 63 N could correspond to a different interpretation or a calculation based on a different set of forces.

To proceed correctly, you would:
- clearly identify the direction and magnitude of every force acting on the object from the diagram.
- decompose forces into components along a common axis (e.g., x and y).
- sum all x-components to obtain F_x and all y-components to obtain F_y.
- compute the net force magnitude as √(F_x^2 + F_y^2) and determine the direction with the appropriate angle.

If you can confirm the exact directions and the presence (or absence) of any additional forces (such as a 50 N force to the right shown in the diagram, or whether B is vertical up, etc.), I can recompute the net force step-by-step to align with the intended answer. The current data as stated lead to multiple plausible results, and 63 N does not arise from the straightforward combinations of 187 N and 200 N alone.
