ntal braces and kits are used to align and straighten the orientation of the teeth. In a specific case, the tooth that is needed to be aligned is pulled with a force of 9.21 N, 45° CW from the wire (from the +x-axis) and 6.27 N, 45° CCW from the wire (from the +x-axis). What is the magnitude of the resulting force of the two forces aligning the tooth?
