SUMMARY
The resultant force for the two forces F1,3 and F2,3, both with a magnitude of 0.899 N, can be calculated by adding their respective components. F1,3 has components of x = -0.719 and y = -0.54, while F2,3 has components of x = 0.719 and y = -0.54. The resultant force's x-component is the sum of the x-components, resulting in 0, and the y-component remains -0.54. Therefore, the resultant force is 0 N in the x-direction and -0.54 N in the y-direction.
