Two forces one 500 gf and the other 800gf act upon a body what are the maximum and minimum possible values of the resultant force?

If the act together (in the same direction), the resultant force is the sum - 1300 gf (whatever that abbreviation means!). This is the maximum. If they act in opposite directions, the resultant force is the difference, 300 gf - and this is the minimum.


How do you calculate the size of the resultant force in physics?

You have to learn vector addition. This can be done graphically, or by algebraically by adding components.


How to find resultant force?

To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.
