2. In mechanics, force is a vector quantity and has a unit of Newtons (N). The force F₁ with a magnitude of 54.0 N is applied at an object at the origin in the direction of 25° above the negative x-axis. A second force F₂ with a magnitude of 41.0 N is applied at the same object in the direction of 68° above the positive x-axis. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the two forces.
