You can put this solution on YOUR website! A force of 55 Newtons is acting on a body in a north direction. A second force of 30 Newtons is applied to the body in a east direction. What is the net force and direction of action?
------------
It's a right triangle.
The resultant force is the hypotenuse, =~ 62.65 N
-------
The angle measured from North is the arctan(30/55) =~ 28.6 degs
