Sorry, a South-Easterly force of 650 N will annul the North-Westerly force of 650 N completely. The resultant is zero.
For the resultant of the two forces to act westwards, their north-south components must be equal and opposite, and the west component must add to each other. Can you give another try?
i am not sure if i am correct.
A 650-N force acts in a northwesterly direction. A second 650-N force must be exerted in what direction so that the resultant of the two forces points westward?
A: southeasterly
It is from the southeasterly direction rite beacuse it forces the force to point towards the west.

Southwesterly? beacuse they equal one another?
Yes, the north-south components cancel each other, and the west-component add to each other.
Thanks for the help :)
can you help us out with one more question math mate?
Glad to do so.
Post the question and any available teacher will be able to help you.
