A 100 pound force and a 150 pound force act on an object. If the angle between the force 40 degress, find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle the resultant force makes with the 150 pound force.

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate or change direction.
There are several types of forces, including contact forces (such as friction and air resistance) and non-contact forces (such as gravity and electromagnetic forces).
Forces can cause an object to start moving, stop moving, or change direction. They can also affect the speed and velocity of an object.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
Forces can cancel each other out (balanced forces) or combine to produce a net force (unbalanced forces). The resulting force will determine if an object accelerates or maintains its current state of motion.
