An object weighs under the influence of three forces; The first force, 33.0N, acts in a direction that makes an angle of 90.0 degrees with respect to the x axis, while the second force, 44.0N, acts in a direction that makes an angle of 60.0 degrees with respect to the x axis. What is the magnitude and direction of the third force
Three forces act on an object. A 3 N force acts due east and a 7 N force acts due north. If the net force on the object is zero, what is the magnitude of the third force?
