Question

The
force is the sum of all the forces that act upon an object.

Answer 1

the forces acting on an object is the net force or resultant force. ... Force is a vector and hence has both a direction and magnitude. For example, gravitational force (on earth) acts in downward direction and has a magnitude equal to mass of the object and acceleration due to gravity.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force or resultant force is sum of all the forces act upon an object. As force is a vector quantity it has both magnitude as well as direction. so net force is calculated by keeping direction of application in mind such as friction force is always acts in the direction opposite to the motion of object and gravitational force always acts downwards.
