As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. 1 In the figure below, a force F of magnitude 6.10 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 8 = 27.0 above the positive x-axis. A second force F of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force + F. magnitude direction M F d Help? F Read it units o counterclockwise from the +x-axis
