The situation in which the magnitude of the total force is greater than the magnitude of each of the individual forces is:
Two people stand on the same side of a large box. One pushes, and the other pulls with the same amount of force.
In this scenario, the forces they exert on the box add up in a way that results in a total force that is the sum of the two forces, making it greater than the magnitude of each individual force.
