Q

what do you need to do to find the resultant force and the bearing in a question

A

the arrows nose to tail
find the long side using Pythagoras
fin the angle using trigonometry
write what you have found

at the end say- the resultant displacement is ….. and the is in the north of east ant the bearing of
