The resultant vector makes a 6.3-degree angle with the horizontal force, the correct option is A.
The resultant angle between the vectors is given by
[tex]\rm \theta = tan^{-1} \dfrac{B sin\theta}{A +B cos\theta}[/tex]
The two forces have magnitude of 17.3 and 42.5 pounds.
The angle of the resultant vector is
[tex]\rm \rm \theta = tan^{-1} \dfrac{17.3\; sin\; 21.9}{42.5 +17.3 cos\;21.9}[/tex]
[tex]\rm \theta = tan^{-1}[/tex] (6.453/58.55)
[tex]\rm \theta[/tex] = 6.2886 degree = 6.3 degree.
Therefore, the resultant vector makes a 6.3-degree angle with the horizontal force.
