10N if both forces are in the same direction.
10 N
Maximum = 11 N Minimum = 5 N
-- The maximum possible is 11 units. That's when the two originals point in exactly the same direction. -- The minimum possible is 5 units. That's when the two originals point in exactly opposite directions.
The maximum resultant occurs when the forces act in the same direction. Its magnitude is 15 N.

The general rule for adding vectors is to hook them together "head to tail" and then draw in a resultant vector. The resultant will have the magnitude and direction that represents the sum of the two vectors that were added.
adding two or more vectors
Just by adding
The resultant vector is the vector that 'results' from adding two or more vectors together. This vector will create some angle with the x -axis and this is the angle of the resultant vector.
