Two forces are acting on an object. One force is pulling the object with an upward direction to the right with a magnitude of 120 N and at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The other force with a magnitude of 80 N pulls the object upward slightly to the left. The second force is 75 degrees with respect to the horizontal. A.) What is the magnitude of the resultant force on the object? B.) What is the direction of the resultant force?
