Four forces pull at a point. The directions defined as the origin and the x,y coordinate are (-4,4), (2,6), (6,2). Determine the resultant force (sum) if the magnitudes are 10, 15, 3 respectively. Remember that the force vector is the magnitude and the angle and the angle is the position vector, x, y.
