The magnitudes and angles (counter-clockwise from the x-axis) of three forces are F1 = 40 N, angle=0°; F2 = 25 N, angle=70°; F3 = 20 N, angle=130°. All the forces lie in a horizontal plane. (A) Use the graphical method to find the resultant (vectorial sum) of the three forces. (Apply conversion 10 N→1 cm on paper) (B) Check your answer by applying the familiar analytical method (polar→ Cartesian → summation component-by- component → back to polar)
