Answer

$-161.6x-180y\,N$ Magnitude $=241.82 \,N$ $\theta=48.06^{\circ}$ with respect to Negative direction of x-axis.

Work Step by Step

For the box to be stationary, $F_{1}+F_{2}+F_{3}=0$ $F_{3}=-F_{1}-F_{2}$ $F_{1}=100cos30^{\circ}x+100sin30^{\circ}y=86.6x+50y\,N$ $F_{2}=150cos60^{\circ}x+150sin60^{\circ}y=75x+130y\,N$ $F_{3}=-F_{1}-F_{2}=-161.6x-180y\,N$ Magnitude of $F_{3}=241.82 \,N$ $\theta=48.06^{\circ}$ with respect to Negative direction of x-axis.
