Calculate the resultant force vector from multiple individual forces.
Forces are vectors, meaning they have both magnitude and direction. To find the net force, we decompose each force into its horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) components:
The resultant magnitude is √(ΣFₓ² + ΣFᵧ²) and the angle is tan⁻¹(ΣFᵧ / ΣFₓ).
