Question: Three forces act on an object, as indicated in the drawing. Force F(vector) 1 has a magnitude of 21.0 newtons (21.0 N) and is directed

Three forces act on an object, as indicated in the drawing. Force F(vector)1 has a magnitude of 21.0 newtons (21.0 N) and is directed 30.0° to the left of the +y axis. Force F(vector)2 has a magnitude of 15.0 N and points along the +x axis. What must be the magnitude and direction (specified by the angle u in the drawing) of the third force F(vector) 3 such that the vector sum of the three forces is 0 N?
