Two forces act on an 5 kg object: F1 = 60N applied at the
origin in the direction of positive x- axis, and F2 = 40N,
also applied at the origin but in the direction of positive y-
axis. Find the direction of the net Force (Hint: its given by
the angle between positive x-axis and the direction of net
