F2 has an x and y component, and the x component will be in the direction of F1.
F2x = 8cos(60)
F2x = 4
Force in x direction = 6 + 4 = 10 N
Force in y direction = F2y = 8sin(60) = 6.93 N
Resultant = √(10² + 6.93²)
= 12.17 N
Direction of Resultant = tan⁻¹(6.93 / 10)
= 34.72° from the positive x-axis
The equilibriant will be 12.17 N and 214.72° from the positive x-axis.

The relationship between the equilibrant and the resultant vector is * the equilibrant is equal in magnitude and in diredction the equilibrant is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction the equilibrant
