Find the angle ø and the magnitude of F1. (Note the wording of this problem. It asks for the value of ø. o is reference from the vertical. In a picture it okay to reference the angle of a vector from the vertical. It is okay also to find a final answer of an angle to the vertical. This problem does not say "find the magnitude and direction of F,". If it did, you would have to find the angle of F1 to the horizontal and ø would not be the correct angle to use in your answer.)
