(8) Suppose a 30-N force and a 20N force act on a object. a-) Draw a picture of the problem when both forces act in the same direction. What is the resultant force? b-) Draw the problem when both forces act on opposite directions. What is the new resultant vector?

Two forces of magnitude 30N and 40N are inclined at an angle of 60°. Answer the following questions: (1) What is the magnitude of the resultant? (2) What is the angle that the resultant makes with the force of 30N? (3) At what angle should the two forces be inclined to each other so that the resultant force is 30N?

Four forces act on an object, given by $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{A}}=40.0 \mathrm{N}$ east, $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}=50.0$ north, $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{C}}=70.0 \mathrm{N}$ west, and $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{D}}=90.0 \mathrm{N}$ south. (a) What is the magnitude of the net force on the object? (b) What is the direction of the force?
