For angle of the resultant in vectors does it have to be clockwise or anticlockwise?

angles measured in an anticlockwise direction are positive. consider the x-axis .... anything above it is positive and below it is negative.
so preferably anticlockwise if you are asking or else depending on the question.

please ju012 ,41 ,

can any one explain no.2 ii , no.3 iii , no.4 ii
FR QUESTIion 2 art two the resultant is of 15N we know that... se diagram below.
gfind the angle alpha between resultant and x-axis
then find the x component
sorry fr the ugly presentation hope it is legible

What does it mean by magnitude of the resultant force there ? oO'
It is the force on pulley,i.e there is a force acting on the fixed pulley due to the tension in the string passing around the pulley....here, there is a downward force of 2T acting on the fixed pulley.due to the string and the attached loads.....T=4.55.....MAGNITUDE OF THE RESULTANT FORCE=2*4.55=9.1...HOPE IT HELPS....
