1) Three forces are acting on a mass at different angles: ForceA 20 N at 30 degrees North of East ForceB 30 N at 70 degrees North of West ForceC = 15 N at 20 degrees South of East a) Make a simple sketch showing the three forces on a set of XY axes. b) Calculate the net force {the resultant force)} (magnitude and direction, as indicated above) of the three forces. c) Suppose you wanted to add a fourth force, so that there is no net force on the mass (based on the four forces) - calculate that equilibrant force (magnitude and direction).
