# Two forces

Two forces with magnitudes of 25 and 30 pounds act on an object at 10° and 100° angles. Find the direction and magnitude of the resultant force. Round to two decimal places in all intermediate steps and your final answer.

Correct result:

α =  60.19 °
m =  19.41

#### Solution:

$r=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}}=19.41$
