    (3 x 2000) - 5000 = 1000N

    In this situation we have 3 forces (from each engine) they all have the same direction and the Weight in the opposite Direction so it will be:

    Fresultant= Fengines - Weight = Fengine1 + Fengine2+ Fengine3 - Weight

    = 2000N + 2000N + 2000N - 5000 N= 1000 N
