The correct answer is option 2) i.e. Difference between two forces

CONCEPT:

  • The net force is the vector sum of the forces acting on an object. 
    • The appropriate sign convention is used while summing the force vectors.
    • The net force is always directed in the direction of the larger force among the forces acting on an object.

EXPLANATION:

​Let the two opposing forces acting on an object B be F1 and F2

Consider the forces to the upward direction as positive and that to the downward direction as negative.

From the diagram, the net force = (+ F1) + (- F2) = F1 - F2 ⇒ difference between the forces.
