    Magnitude and Direction of Force
    A body is in equilibrium under the influence of three forces. Two of these forces act in directions inclined at 60 degrees. To one another and their magnitudes are 40 N and 30 N respectively. Find the magnitude and direction of the third force.

    Help!! I have no clue where to even begin..
