Forces



Three forces F1, F2 and F3 act on an object as shown in the free-body diagram above. F1 has a magnitude of 6 N while F2 and F3 each have a magnitude of 3 N. All forces make angles of 30° with the x-axis as shown.

What is the magnitude of Fnet, the net force acting on the object?

|Fnet| = N
