I need help with my physics homework, so i was wondering if someone can help me solve this problem:?

Question

A 650N force acts in a northwesterly direction. A second 650N force must be exerted in what direction so that the resultant of the two forces points westward?

Answer 1

Southwest. Since the forces are equal, they need to be equal angles from west for the net force to point westward.

Answer 2

its one of newtons laws

Newton's third law: law of reciprocal actions.

       All forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

southeast is the direct that you should exert the force.

Answer 3

Southwest. The north and south components of the forces must be equal and opposite and cancel each other out. That leaves only a westward moving force.

Answer 4

the force must be perpendicular, so southwest
