To find the resultant of two forces, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The magnitude of the resultant force is given by:
```
Fr = √(F1² + F2² + 2F1F2cosθ)
```
where Fr is the magnitude of the resultant force, F1 and F2 are the magnitudes of the individual forces, and θ is the angle between the forces.
The direction of the resultant force is given by:
```
tanθ = (F2sinθ - F1sinθ)/(F2cosθ + F1cosθ)
```
where θ is the angle between the resultant force and the first force.
If the forces are acting in the same direction, then the resultant force is simply the sum of the individual forces. If the forces are acting in opposite directions, then the resultant force is the difference between the individual forces.
The resultant force of two or more forces can be used to determine the motion of an object. The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force with a magnitude proportional to the force.
