Answer:

554 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We're looking for the magnitude of the force - angles don't matter.

We need to resolve the two forces.

As you can see in the attached drawing, this basically just becomes Pythagoras.

[tex] {f}^{2} = {355}^{2} + {425}^{2}[/tex]

[tex]f = \sqrt{ {355}^{2} + {425}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex]f = 553.76[/tex]
