Five weights of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 N rest on a table with the coordinates (0.5, 15*), (2, 90*), (0.9,190*), (0.5, 260*), and (1.5,340*), respectively, where the first number in parenthesis represents the radial distance in meters from the center of the table and the angle is measured counterclockwise from the reference radius as the table is viewed from above. Determine the location of resultant weight.
