The overall force acting on an object is the sum of all of the forces acting on it. This is usually easy to work out if you remember that force is a vector so direction of each force has to be taken into account.

The overall force on an object is the net force, which results from the combination of all individual forces acting on the object. It determines the object's acceleration according to Newton's second law, F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the object's mass, and a is its acceleration.
