Question
100%

I'm thinking it is due east and 310 newtons for the first part. Due to adding forces together, the second part being 140 newtons going east showing the additional force. Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

This is a practice problem. 

A force vector F, points due east and has a magnitude of 170 newtons. A second force F2 is added to F₁. The resultant of the two
vectors has a magnitude of 310 newtons and points along the (a) east/ (b) west line. Find the magnitude and direction of F₂. Note that
there are two answers.
(a)
(b)
Number i 310
Number i
