If two or more forces act on the same object, and in the same direction, you can calculate the net force by simply adding them.
That would be forces that act in the same direction, or more or less in the same direction.
You just add the forces in this case.
Add the resultant vectors 4 + 10 (and as they are in the same direction there will be no sine or cosine factors to worry about).Answer: 14N in the direction of the forces
If all of the individual forces on an object act in the same direction, then the net force on it is simply the sum of the magnitudes of the individual forces, and is in the same direction as all of them.
If two or more forces act on the same object, and in the same direction, you can calculate the net force by simply adding them.
You find the vector sum of all the forces. That is the resultant, or net, force.
In that case you simply add the magnitudes.
That would be forces that act in the same direction, or more or less in the same direction.

how two forces are added if they are not concurrent but are acting in same direction
If all of the individual forces on an object act in the same direction, then the net force on it is simply the sum of the magnitudes of the individual forces, and is in the same direction as all of them.
Every force has a direction. Two or more separate forces acting on the same object have thesame effect on the object as a single force. The strength and direction of the equivalent singleforce can easily be calculated, and may not be the same as the strength or direction of any of theindividual forces.
If two forces are in the same direction, then their resultant is also in the same direction, and its magnitude is the sum of the two components' magnitudes.
