Two forces are exerted on an object: a force A with an x-component of 9.00[N] and a y-component of -2.40[N], and a force B with an x-component of -13.30[N] and a y-component of 23.60[N]. Assuming these are the only two forces on the object, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object? Express your answer in N.
