The video tutorial explains how to calculate the net force acting on an object subjected to three different forces. It begins by introducing the forces and their directions, followed by drawing a vector diagram. The tutorial then breaks down Force 3 into its X and Y components using trigonometry. After calculating these components, the video demonstrates how to sum the forces in both directions to find the net force. Finally, it uses the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry to determine the magnitude and direction of the net force, concluding with a net force of 4.6 Newtons at an angle of 38 degrees north of west.

Which direction does Force 1 act on the object?

• North

• South

• East

• West
