Answer:
50 N
Explanation:
Since the forces in x and y directions are given, the resultant force is given by
Resultant=[tex]\sqrt {F_x^{2}+F_y^{2}}[/tex]
From the diagram, force in x direction is given as 40 N while the force in y direction is 30 N hence the resultant force will be
[tex]F=\sqrt {40^{2}+30^{2}}=50[/tex]
Therefore, the resultant is 50 N
