Answer

$\phi = 208^o$

Work Step by Step

We use trigonometry formula to find the angle of the net force $\phi = tan^{-1} (\frac{F_{4.y \space net}}{F_{4.x \space net}})$ $\phi = tan^{-1} (\frac{-2.89 \times 10^{-24} N}{-5.44 \times 10^{-24} N})$ $\phi = 28^o$ Measured from the +x axis counterclockwise, $\phi = 180^o + 28^o$ $\phi = 208^o$
