The net force on the object is determined by adding the magnitudes of the individual forces.

The first force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the second force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.

To find the net force, we subtract the magnitude of the second force from the magnitude of the first force:

10 N - 2 N = 8 N

Therefore, the net force on the object is 8 N directed north.

So the correct answer is "8 N north".
