Question

Three plates are connected using welds with concurrent forces applied as shown. Calculate the resultant of the forces.

Note: After solving for the Angle of the Resultant, you must then determine the Direction of the Resultant relative to Horizontal (positive x-axis) in a CCW (counter-clockwise direction).  Sometimes the Direction of the Resultant may be the same as the Angle of the Resultant.  However, you must always calculate both: the Angle of the Resultant (based on the Resultant triangle sketch) and then the Direction of the Resultant based on Horizontal (positive x-axis) in a CCW direction from horizontal.
