What must be the magnitude and direction (specified by the angle e in the drawing) of the third force Fs such that the vector sum of the three forces is 0 N?

Three forces are applied to an object, as indicated in the drawing. Force F1 has a magnitude of 32.0 newtons (32.0 N) and is directed 30.0° to the left of the +y axis. Force F2 has a magnitude of 21.5 N and points along the +x axis. What must be the magnitude and direction (specified by the angle e in the drawing) of the third force Fs such that the vector sum of the three forces is 0 N?
