F1x + F2x = Rx

Rx = F1x + F2x

Rx = F1 cos45° + F2

Rx = (50N)(cos45°) + 60N

Rx = 95N

Similarly, if we sum all the y components, we will get the y component of the resultant force:

F1y + F2y = Ry

Ry = F1y + F2y

Ry = F1 sin45° + 0

Ry = F1 sin45°

Ry = (50N)(sin45°)

Ry = 35N

At this point, we know the x and y components of R, which we can use to find the magnitude and direction of R:

Rx = 95N

Ry = 35N
