The net force on the object is 8 N north.
To determine the net force, we need to consider the direction of the forces. One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, while the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south. Since the forces are in opposite directions, we need to subtract the magnitude of the force directed south (2 N) from the magnitude of the force directed north (10 N).
10 N - 2 N = 8 N
The net force is therefore 8 N north.
