Problem

A crate on a frictionless floor is pulled by three forces and remains at rest. Two of the forces are $ \vec{F_1}=120\,\text{N}dueeastand due east and \vec{F_2}=80\,\text{N}duenorth.Determinethemagnitudeanddirectionofthethirdforce due north. Determine the magnitude and direction of the third force \vec{F_3}$ that keeps the crate in equilibrium. Express the direction as an angle south of west.
