Question

Four forces act on an object, given by 

A = 33.3 N east,

 

B = 40.3 N north,

 

C = 84.7 N west,

 and 

D = 72.7 N south.

 (Assume east and north are directed along the +x-axis and +y-axis, respectively.)

HINT

(a)What is the magnitude of the net force (in N) on the object?

 

(b)What is the direction of the force? (Enter your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)  ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
