Three forces are exerted on an object and as a result the object moves with a constant velocity.One force is 60 N along the +x-axis, the second is 75 N along a direction making a counterclockwise angle of 150° with the +x-axis

(a) What is the magnitude of the third force? (b) What is the direction of the third force, measured clockwise from the +x-axis?


(a) 38 N (b) 260°
