The net force on the object is the vector sum of the two forces. Since one force is directed north and the other force is directed south, their magnitudes can be subtracted to find the net force.
Net force = 10 N - 2 N = 8 N north
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N north.
Net force = 10 N - 2 N = 8 N north
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N north.
