Question

A force 

F1

 of magnitude 5.40 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction θ = 33.0° above the positive x-axis. (See the figure below.) A second force 

F2

 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force 

F1 + F2.
