2 The diagram shows three forces and the perpendicular unit vectors \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\), which all lie in the same plane.

- Express the resultant of the three forces in terms of \(\mathbf { i }\) and \(\mathbf { j }\).
- Find the magnitude of the resultant force.
- Draw a diagram to show the direction of the resultant force, and find the angle that it makes with the unit vector \(\mathbf { i }\).
