Answer:

magnitude is 4.5 lb, and the direction is given by the angle 250°.

Explanation:

We can see that the magnitude is 4.5lb (it is already written in the graph, the "distance" between R and T).

To find the angle, remember that the angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.

We can see that the angle, measured clockwise, is 110°

And the angle of a complete revolution is 360°

The sum of the angle measured clockwise and the angle measured counterclockwise should be equal to 360°

Then the angle, measured counterclockwise is given by:

360° - 110° = 250°

Then the magnitude is 4.5lb, and the direction is given by the angle 250°.
