The following concurrent forces are acting on a body in xy plane: A 300 lb pointing up to the right 30 degrees with x axis, 400 lb at 45 degrees with x axis acting up to the left, 200 lb down to the left at 60 degrees with x axis, 150 lb down to the right at 75 degrees with x axis and a 100 lb directly to the right. Determine the resultant force and its direction using graphical and analytical method. Pls show the solution, formula and free body diagram.
