Given: three forces act on a particle P. Force A has a magnitude of 60lbs and acts 30 degrees CCW from the y-axis. Force B has a magnitude of 30 lbs and acts along a ray from point P with a slope of -3/1. Force C has a magnitude of 25 lbs and acts straight up. Add the three vectors to find the scalar components of the resultant Rx and Ry.
