resultant(varargin) is a matlab function that calculates the resultant of a system of forces.
resultant takes any number of input argument. But each argument must be in pairs, the first representing the force and the second, the bearing.
For example, to calculate the resultant of the following forces:

220N in the direction 030
153N in the direction 090

At the command line type

resultant([220 30],[153 90])
or
f1 = [220 30];
f2 = [153 90];

then type
resultant(f1,f2)

resultant also displays the workings in a tabular form and plots the resultant force
