Transcribed Image Text:### Problem 1
**Determine the resultant of the three forces shown.**
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram depicts a cartesian coordinate system with three forces acting on an object at point O. The forces have the following characteristics:
1. A force of 500 N acting in the positive y-direction.
2. A force of 424 N acting 45 degrees downward from the negative y-axis.
3. A force of 408 N acting 30 degrees downward from the negative x-axis.
**Dimensions:**
- The origin O is positioned where the axes meet.
- The vertical distance between the origin and the endpoint of the 424 N force is 900 mm.
- The horizontal distances from O to the endpoints of the 500 N and 408 N forces are 500 mm and 450 mm, respectively.
- The vertical distance from O to the top of the 600 mm segment is given as 600 mm.
