How do you use a scale drawing to find the resultant force acting on an object?

Draw all forces on an object to scale, tip to tail. Draw a straight line from the start of the first force to the end of the last force. Measure the length and angle of the new line to find the magnitude and direction of the force respectively.

When all forces acting on an object add up to give a resultant force of 0.
