To find the total force being applied to the car, we need to consider the forces being exerted by the two men. Since both men are pushing the car with a force of 16 pounds each, we can calculate the total force they are applying as follows:

$$
\text{Total force} = \text{Force by man 1} + \text{Force by man 2}
$$
$$
\text{Total force} = 16 \, \text{pounds} + 16 \, \text{pounds} = 32 \, \text{pounds}
$$

The weight of the car (2775 pounds) does not affect the total force being applied; it is simply the weight of the car.

Thus, the total force being applied to the car is:

$$
\text{Total force} = 32 \, \text{pounds}
$$

Rounding to four decimal places, the answer remains:

$$
\text{Total force} = 32.0000 \, \text{pounds}
$$
The total force being applied to the car is 32.0000 pounds.
