Answer

$(-4.021Nx+0.965Ny)$

Work Step by Step

Along x-axis, $F_{1}cos37^{\circ}+F_{2}-F_{3}sin45^{\circ}=4.021N$ Along y-axis, $F_{1}sin37^{\circ}-F_{3}cos45^{\circ}-F_{4}=-0.965N$ Total force acting on the body = $4.021Nx-0.965Ny$ For constant speed, sum of forces should be zero. So, the force to act upon the body must be $(-4.021Nx+0.965Ny)$
