Solution:
Given:
The sketch of the two vectors can be made as shown below;
Resolving the forces into the horizontal and vertical components,

Hence, the resultant vector (u + v) is;

The direction of u + v is given by;

Since the tangent of the angle is negative, then it falls in the second or fourth quadrant.
In the second quadrant,

Therefore, the direction of u + v to the nearest degree is 173 degrees.
