Answer:

Direction: north-west (45 degrees)

Magnitude: 500 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The wind exerts a force upwards, a.k.a. north.

The water exerts a force to the left, or west.

The directions are 90 degrees apart from each other, so the angle of the je force is 45 degrees (north-west).

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the magnitude.


a^2+b^2=c^2\\400^2+300^2=250000^2\\√(250000) = 500N
