To find the resultant of the forces shown in the figure, we first need to represent each force as a vector.

Let's denote the forces as follows:
- Force A: 10 N at an angle of 30 degrees
- Force B: 8 N at an angle of 150 degrees
- Force C: 6 N at an angle of 270 degrees

Next, we need to convert these forces into their x and y components.

For Force A:
Fx = 10 * cos(30) = 8.66 N
Fy = 10 * sin(30) = 5 N

For Force B:
Fx = 8 * cos(150) = -4 N
Fy = 8 * sin(150) = 6.93 N

For Force C:
Fx = 6 * cos(270) = 0 N
Fy = 6 * sin(270) = -6 N

Now, we can add up the x and y components of the forces to find the resultant force:
Rx = 8.66 N - 4 N + 0 N = 4.66 N
Ry = 5 N + 6.93 N - 6 N = 5.93 N

The magnitude of the resultant force can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
R = sqrt(Rx^2 + Ry^2) = sqrt(4.66^2 + 5.93^2) = 7.52 N

The angle of the resultant force can be found using the inverse tangent function:
θ = tan^(-1)(Ry/Rx) = tan^(-1)(5.93/4.66) = 50.3 degrees

Therefore, the resultant force is 7.52 N at an angle of 50.3 degrees.

To find the point where the resultant force acts, we can use the concept of moments. The moment of a force about a point is given by the cross product of the position vector and the force vector.

Let's assume the point where the resultant force acts is at a distance x from Force A, and y from Force B.

Taking moments about the point where Force A acts:
10 * x * sin(30) - 8 * y * sin(150) - 6 * (y - 10) * sin(270) = 0
5x - 6.93y + 6 = 0
5x = 6.93y - 6
x = (6.93y - 6) / 5

Taking moments about the point where Force B acts:
10 * (x - 10) * sin(30) - 8 * y * sin(150) - 6 * y * sin(270) = 0
5(x - 10) - 6.93y = 0
5x - 50 - 6.93y = 0
5x = 6.93y + 50
x = (6.93y + 50) / 5

Equating the two expressions for x:
(6.93y - 6) / 5 = (6.93y + 50) / 5
6.93y - 6 = 6.93y + 50
-6 = 50

This is a contradiction, so there is no point where the resultant force acts.
