When two forces are applied in the same direction, they are added together and called the net force. When two forces are applied in opposite directions, the difference between the two forces is calculated and considered as the net force.
When two forces are acting on an object in opposite directions, we combine them by finding the difference between the magnitudes of the two forces. The direction of the resulting force will be in the direction of the larger force.
When two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, we say they are balanced or in equilibrium.
