Final answer:
The magnitude of the resultant force can be found by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the components of the individual forces.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the magnitude of the resultant force, we can use the formula to calculate the magnitude of the net force. The magnitude of the net force is found by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the components of the individual forces. So, in this case, we have Fnet = sqrt (F₁² + F₂²).
Substituting the given values, we have F = sqrt (2² + 2²) = sqrt (8) = 2.83 newton (rounded to two decimal places).
