Answer:
653.84 lbs.
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the computation simple, assume the 450 lb force acts along the x axis in the positive direction.
The x component of the 300 lb force is 300cos(60)=150 lbs.
The y component of the 300 lb force is 300sin(60)= lbs.
The x component of the total force is the sum of the x components of the two forces.
Fx=150+450=600
Fy=259.81
The net force is obtained using the Pythagorean theorem, since the two force components are perpindicular.
F=Sqrt(Fx^2+Fy^2)=Sqrt(360000+67501.24)=Sqrt(427501)=653.84 lbs.
