Depending on the angle between them, those two forces can combine to produce
a resultant anywhere between 10N and 40N. The maximum of 40N occurs when
both forces act in exactly the same direction.

What is the minimum resultant possible when adding a 5-N force to an 8 N force?
The maximum resultant occurs when the forces act in the same direction. Its magnitude is 15 N.
What is the maximum resultant possible when adding a 2 Newton force to a 8 Newton force?
10N if both forces are in the same direction.
Consider a pair of forces one having a magnitude of 20 N and the other a magnitude of 12N What maximum net force is possible for these two forces what is the minimum net force prossible?
The min net force magnitude you can have is (20 - 12) = 8 N, when the two forces are directly opposite in directions. When the two forces align, the net force magnitude becomes the maximum, which is equal to (20 + 12) = 32 N. You can guess that the net force magnitude is somewhere between 8 N and 32 N, when the two forces are at an angle other than 0o or 180o. Let us say the larger force is A and the smaller force is B, at an angle, alpha, to one another. Then the net force magnitude, |C| = |A| + |B|*cos(alpha). The magnitude of C, |C|, depends solely on cos(alpha), since |A| and |B| are fixed. When alpha = 0o, |C|= |A| + |B| (maximal); when alpha = 180o, |C|= |A| - |B| (minimal). Note that max(cos(alpha))=1 and min(cos(alpha))=-1. ================================
What is the magnitude of resultant force in case of concurrent forces in equilibrium?
The magnitude of the resultant force in the case of the concurrent forces in equilibrium.
What should be angle between two forces in order to get maximum result?
Zero. Forces combine as vectors. The magnitude of the resultant force is equal to the sum of the magnitudes of the two combining forces only when the forces are parallel. Caveat: This does assume that the "maximum result" desired is a single force, such as would be relevant in producing the linear acceleration of a mass. If, for instance, one wanted to produce the maximum torque as a "result," the points (locations) where the forces were applied would make a difference and there are circumstances where torque would be maximized by oppositely directed forces.

The magnitude of a force is its 'size' or 'strength', regardless of its direction.

Why is net force a a vector?
All forces have direction and magnitude

A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Each force in an action-reaction pair of forces is equal in what?
In magnitude.
What would happen to an object when normal force and force of gravity is applied?
It depends on the magnitude of the forces.
Is the force greater than the the sum of the forces when forces are combined?
No, the magnitude of the resulting force when forces are combined is at MOST equal to the sum of forces, this is when they are all in the same direction. Else its magnitude will always be less than the sum of magnitudes of the individual forces involved (some forces will be oposing or "fighting" others).
