USE VECTOR NOTATIONIn a physics laboratory class, three massless strings are tied together at a point. A tensile force is applied along each rope: F_1 = 150 N at 60°, F_2 = 200. N at 100°. F_3 = 100. N at 190° What is the magnitude of a fourth force and the angle at which it acts to keep the point at the center of the system stationary? (All angles are measured from the positive x-axis counterclockwise.)
