When the two forces are acting in the opposite direction, then the resultant of the two vectors will be at a minimum. The value of the force will be either 2 Newton or -2 newton.
. It is the simplest
way to prove and explain the situation under which the resultant of the two
vectors will be at a minimum. The situation under which the resultant of the
two vectors will be maximum is when the two forces of 5N and 7n will act in the
same direction and create a combines force of 12N.
