Find the resultant of the following force.a,150N east and 20N due to west

I pull150 right and you pull 20 left
150 - 20 is the resultant right

Now if you had some north or south in there we would have had to do trig.
I don't know
When solving for the resultant of forces in different directions, you can use vector addition. This means you can graphically add the forces to find their resultant or use mathematical equations to calculate it.

For your example, we have a force of 150N east and 20N due west. Since these forces are in opposite directions, we can subtract them to get the resultant force.

Resultant force = 150N - 20N
Resultant force = 130N to the east

Therefore, the resultant force is 130N to the east.
