\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{f0813713-d677-4ed7-87e1-971a64bdb6ff-2_305_295_264_868} Two perpendicular forces of magnitudes \(F \mathrm {~N}\) and 8 N act at a point \(O\) (see diagram). Their resultant has magnitude 17 N .

1. Calculate \(F\) and find the angle which the resultant makes with the 8 N force. A third force of magnitude \(E \mathrm {~N}\), acting in the same plane as the two original forces, is now applied at the point \(O\). The three forces of magnitudes \(E N , F N\) and \(8 N\) are in equilibrium.
2. State the value of \(E\) and the angle between the directions of the \(E \mathrm {~N}\) and 8 N forces.
