Finding the Resultant by adding vectors. HELP!
1. Two forces act on an object. ONe has a magnitude of 166 Newtons and points at an angle of 60 degrees above the + X axis. The secon dhas a magnitude of 284 Newtons and points at an angle of 30 above the + X axis. A third force is applied and balances to zero effects of the other two. What are the magnitude and direction of this third force? Specify the direction relative to the negative x axis.
I'm ocnfused with this problem also...xD
2. What are the x and y components of the vector that must be added to the following three vectors so that the sum of hte four vectors is 0. Due east is the +x direction and due north is the +y direction.
A=133 units, 60 degrees south of west
B= 222 units, 35 degrees south of east
C= 177 units, 23 degrees north of east
I am not really sure how to set up these two problems. I know what the variables and stuff are but what exactly am I looking for?...Plus, in problem number two, I don't understand the bolded statement.
Problem 1) A=166 Angle A= 60 degrees B=284 Newtons Angle B=30.

Problem 2) A=133 units, 240 degrees
B= 222 units, 325 degrees
C= 177 units, 23 degrees
