What two (equal in magnitude and opposite in direction) forces is the scale measuring when you start to pull on the toboggan but it remains stationary? Be specific.

Assuming the scale is measuring lateral forces (in the direction of pull), it will measure the force at which you pull on the toboggan, and then frictional force (which is in the opposite direction of pull)
Since the toboggan isn't moving, the two forces are equal and opposite, meaning F net will be 0.
