To calculate the net force acting on the object, you can subtract the southward force from the northward force:

  1. Northward force = 10 N
  2. Southward force = 2 N

Net force = Northward force - Southward force Net force = 10 N - 2 N = 8 N north

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