Three forces of magnitudes F1 = 4.0 N, F2 = 6.0 N, and F = 8.0 N are applied to a block of mass m=2.0 kg, initially at rest, at angles shown on the diagram. (Figure 1)In this problem, you will determine the resultant (net) force by combining the three individual force vectors. All angles should be measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis (i.e., all angles are positive).
