The question I have to answer is: What is the direction of ~ F as an angle be- tween the limits of −180◦ and +180◦ from the positive x axis with counterclockwise as the positive angular direction. Answer in units of ◦. The resultant number for x is 63.65 and the number for y is 43.52. I already answered the previous question and these are the correct numbers derived from it (Its an online assignment and told me my numbers were correct. I can't get the answer no matter what I try though for this one
