A force of 16 N and a force of 24 N are acting on an object at the same point. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant for each of the three cases that follow: Case A: when the two forces act in the same direction to the right. Case B: when the two forces act in opposite directions, 24 N to the right, 16 N to the left. Case C: when the two forces are at right angles to one another, 16 N to the east and 24 N to the north.
