A motorboat is traveling across a river.

Figure 1 shows a vector diagram of the two perpendicular forces acting on the motorboat as it moves.

A motorboat with two perpendicular force arrows acting on it: a vertical arrow pointing upwards labeled 'Engine thrust = 60 N' and a horizontal arrow pointing to the right labeled 'River current = 80 N'. Both arrows start from the same point on the motorboat.

Complete the diagram to show the resultant force of these two forces.
