I cant find an example for this problem in my textbooks anywhere... could someone please help me out with this?
First find the components in the horizontal and vertical directions.
Horizontal: Fx = 9 - 14*cos(65°) or Fx = 3.083
Vertical: Fy = 14*sin(65°) or Fy = 12.688
The resultant has magnitude sqrt(Fx2 + Fy2) = 13.058
It has an angle to the horizontal axis of tan-1(Fy/Fx) = 76.34°
