A force vector F1 points due east and has a magnitude of 200 Newtons, A second force F2 is added to F1. The resultant of the two vectors has a magnitude of 400 newtons and points along the due east/west line. Find the magnitude and direction of F2. Note that there are two answers. <span>The given values are
F1 = 200 N</span> F2 =? Total = 400 N

Solution: F1 + F2 = T 200 N + F2 = 400N
F2 = 400 - 200
F2 = 200 N
