The resultant force is the sum of all forces positioned at different directions and placed in a specific angle. In this case, we can take the short way to answer this problem. we use the calculator and shift the mode to complex to add 100<50 and 50<160. the answer is 95.29<79.54. The magnitude is 95.29 pounds and the angle is 79.54°.
