A student compares two situations with the same book on the same table. Situation 1: The book is resting. Forces on the book: weight

10\,\text{N}

downward and normal force

10\,\text{N}

upward. Situation 2: The student pushes the book to the right with

12\,\text{N}

while friction pulls left with

7\,\text{N}

(the

10\,\text{N}

weight and

10\,\text{N}

normal force still act). Which statement correctly compares the net force and motion in the two situations?
