Two individuals are attempting to relocate a sofa by applying forces in the indicated directions. If F₁-540 N and F2- N, determine the vector expression for the resultant R of the two forces. Then determine the magnitude R of the result and the angle which it makes with the positive x-axis (measured counterclockwise from the x-axis).
