Answer:

  53°

Step-by-step explanation:

If you translate the 4 N force to the right so its tail is at the tip of the 3 N force, you see these are the legs of a 3-4-5 right triangle. The 4 N force is opposite the angle of interest, and the 3 N force is adjacent. Then the angle of interest, α, has the relation ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(α) = 4/3

  α = arctan(4/3) ≈ 53°

The direction of the resultant is 53° clockwise from the horizontal axis.
