Two forces act on a particle in the horizontal plane. Force \(F_{1}=40\ \text{N}\) is directed \(30^{\circ}\) north of east, and force \(F_{2}=50\ \text{N}\) is directed \(120^{\circ}\) anticlockwise from east. A third force \(F_{3}\) is applied to keep the particle in equilibrium. Determine the magnitude of \(F_{3}\) (in newtons, to two significant figures) and the angle (in degrees anticlockwise from east) at which it must act.
