Question

What is the resultant of 5N force pointing north and 7N force pointing south? Do not forget to include the direction.

Answer 1

It would be 2N pointing South.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the forces are going in opposite directions, you can subtract them. Which makes it 7N south minus 5N North. That is 2N pointing South. Because the force going south is greater, it is the direction the force will be going.
