Step 1
It's not clear how many forces are acting, their directions, or their points of application. In general, to calculate the resultant force, you would add up all the forces vectorially. This means taking into account both the magnitude and direction of each force. Show more…

Given that F1 = 450 N, F2 = 950 N, F3 = 525 N, and a = 550, determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction, measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. The magnitude of the resultant force should be rounded to one decimal place. The direction counterclockwise from the positive x-axis should also be rounded to one decimal place in degrees.
