The total electric field consists of the vector sum of two parts. One part has a magnitude of E 1= 1309.0 N/C and points at an angle = 15.2 o above the x axis. The other part has a magnitude of E 2 = 1924.5 N/C and points at an angle = 40.8 o above the x axis. Find the direction angle of the total field. (Specify the directional angle in degree and relative to the x axis.)
