Whether these [[force]]s are '''balanced''' can be found by [[Resolving Forces|resolving]] the blue [[force]] [[vector]]s into the [[horizontal]]. See [[Resolving Forces]].
<math>F_{right} = 50\cos37 + 50\cos37</math>
<math>F_{right} = 79.86N</math>
Since the [[angle]] in the question is given to two [[Significant Figures|significant figures]] the answer should also be quoted to two [[Significant Figures|significant figures]].
<math>F_{right} \approx 80N</math>
<math>F_R = F_{right} - F_{left}</math>
<math>F_R = 80 - 80</math>
<math>F_R = 0N</math>
