6 Force \(\mathbf { F } _ { 1 }\) is \(\binom { 6 } { 13 } \mathrm {~N}\) and force \(\mathbf { F } _ { 2 }\) is \(\binom { 3 } { 5 }\), where \(\left. \int _ { 0 } \right] _ { \text {and } } \binom { 0 } { 1 }\) are vectors east and north respectively.
  1. Calculate the magnitude of \(\mathbf { F } _ { 1 }\), correct to three significant figures.
  2. Calculate the direction of the force \(\mathbf { F } _ { 1 } - \mathbf { F } _ { 2 }\) as a bearing. Force \(\mathbf { F } _ { 2 }\) is the resultant of all the forces acting on an object of mass 5 kg .
  3. Calculate the acceleration of the object and the change in its velocity after 10 seconds.
