$\mathbf{F} {1x} = 100 \cos(30^\circ) = 86.60$ N $\mathbf{F} {1y} = 100 \sin(30^\circ) = 50$ N $\mathbf{F} {2x} = 200 \cos(60^\circ) = 100$ N $\mathbf{F} {2y} = 200 \sin(60^\circ) = 173.21$ N $\mathbf{R} x = \mathbf{F} {1x} + \mathbf{F} {2x} = 86.60 + 100 = 186.60$ N $\mathbf{R} y = \mathbf{F} {1y} + \mathbf{F} {2y} = 50 + 173.21 = 223.21$ N Step 4: Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force $R = \sqrt{\mathbf{R}_x^2 + \mathbf{R}_y^2} = \sqrt{(186.60)^2 + (223.21)^2} = 291.15$ N
