The net force on an object is determined by adding together all the forces acting on it. In this case, the force directed north has a magnitude of 10 N, and the force directed south has a magnitude of 2 N.
Since the forces are in opposite directions, we subtract the magnitude of the south force from the magnitude of the north force:
10 N - 2 N = 8 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.
Since the forces are in opposite directions, we subtract the magnitude of the south force from the magnitude of the north force:
10 N - 2 N = 8 N
Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.
