Two forces act on an object. The first force has a magnitude of 19.0 N and is oriented 78.0 degrees counterclockwise from the +x axis, while the 2nd force has a x- and y-components (-19.0 N, 12.5 N). Express the magnitude and direction of the net force.

OpenStudy (xishem):

The net force is just the superposition (addition) of the two component forces. So, first, you'll need to find the x- and y-components of the first force. Any idea how to approach that?
