Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
According to the question:
Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N
Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N
Net Force, [tex]\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F}[/tex]
[tex]\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F} = 17 - 10 = 7 N[/tex]
Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher
Therefore,
[tex]\vec{F_{net}} = 7 N[/tex] towards North
