Yes, thank you for this! I had actually gone off of a sketch I had, and it was not accurate. After you had mentioned so, I looked back at the homework and it's sketched the way you have it. Thanks for all your explanations!

Thanks for all your help TSny!

Ye I think once I get a good look at this tomorrow, it'll make better sense. As far as I can see, the vector does move in a negative direction towards F2.

I It is pointing up

Yes

340 N @ 25 degrees is below x-axis. 414 N @ 9 degrees I above x-axis.

.9876883

I've switched the mode to degrees, but still am getting the wrong answer. :(

So what you are saying Tsny is that I should convert the answers to radians?

Steamking, 414 x cos 9 degrees = - 377.2.

Two forces are given and are applied to a car in an effort to accelerate it: 414N at 9 degrees and 340N at 25 degrees. What is magnitude of the resultant of the two forces? Answer in units of N. So I've added together X= (414cos9) + (340cos25), and got -40. For the Y, Y= (414sin9) +...
