Two forces act on a circular disc as shown. [Figure showing a circular disc with a 3N force acting upwards from the center and a 4N force acting rightwards from the center] Which diagram shows the line of action of the resultant force?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

Acircular disc with a central dot and a force vector of 5N pointing towards the bottom-left from the center.
Bcircular disc with a central dot and a force vector of 5N pointing towards the bottom-right from the center.
Ccircular disc with a central dot and a force vector of 5N pointing towards the top-right from the center.
Dcircular disc with a central dot and a force vector of 5N pointing towards the top-left from the center.

✓ Correct answer

A: circular disc with a central dot and a force vector of 5N pointing towards the bottom-left from the center.
