I think the answer is rt7N.Here's my method.The forces can be assumed to be acting at a point at 1200 to each other.First let us find the resultant of 6N,3N.
F'2=36+9-2(6)(3)(1/2)=27
F'=3rt3 making an angle k with 6N
where k=Tan-1(3sin120/6+3cos120)=Tan-1(3rt3/9)=300.
So,now,we have to find resultant of 4,3rt3 which are at an angle (120+30)=1500 with each other.
So,Fnet2=16+27-2(4)(3rt3)(rt3/2)=7
Fnet=
