Two forces in addition to its weight are acting on a 10kg mass. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the mass? I was able to figure out the magnitude, but how do I find the direction? Thanks.

Also- there is a picture that goes along with the question.

Welcome to PF.

The General Physics forum is not intended to host Home Work threads.

You should post your HW questions in one of the HW forums here at PF. When you do so, you should fill out the HW template and provide the details of your attempt at a solution, especially where you got stuck.

I have moved your thread to the Intro Physics HW forum.
