9514 1404 393

Answer:

  113.2 force units

Step-by-step explanation:

When the force vectors are placed nose-to-tail, the resultant is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with sides 53 and 100. The Pythagorean theorem tells you how to find its magnitude:

  F = √(53² +100²) = √12809 ≈ 113.18 . . . force units

The resultant force is about 113.2.
