Resultant Force Components and Magnitude Calculation

In summary, the conversation discusses two forces, F_1_vec and F_2_vec, acting at a point in the second and third quadrants, respectively. F_1_vec has a magnitude of 8.80 N and an angle of 65.0 degrees above the negative x-axis, while F_2_vec has a magnitude of 5.80 N and an angle of 52.7 degrees below the negative x-axis. The questions asked are about the x and y components, magnitude, and angle of the resultant force formed by these two forces. The angle gamma is assumed to be measured clockwise from the negative x-axis.

Two forces, F_1_vec and F_2_vec, act at a point, as shown in the picture. F_1_vec has a magnitude of 8.80 N and is directed at an angle of alpha = 65.0degree above the negative x-axis in the second quadrant. F_2_vec has a magnitude of 5.80 N and is directed at an angle of beta = 52.7 degrees below the negative x-axis in the third quadrant.

What is the x component F_x of the resultant force?

What is the y component F_y of the resultant force?

What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?

What is the angle gamma that the resultant force forms with the negative x axis? In this problem, assume that positive angles are measured clockwise from the negative x axis.
