Two forces with magnitudes of 90 and 50 pounds act on an object at angles of 30° and 160°, respectively. Find the direction and magnitude of the resultant force.
============
A = 90 at 30 degs
B = 50 at 160 degs
-----
Draw the vectors from the Origin.
Form a parallelogram from the 2 vectors.
The diagonal from the Origin is the resultant vector.
