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. In the figure below, a force F→1 of magnitude 6.40 units acts on a crate at the origin in a direction θ = 27.0∘ above the positive x-axis. A second force F→2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the crate 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→1 + F→2 magnitude units direction counterclockwise from the +x-axis
