Two forces of magnitudes 6 N and 10 N separated by an angle of \(110 ^ { \circ }\) act on a particle \(P\), which rests on a horizontal surface (see diagram).
- Find the magnitude of the resultant of the 6 N and 10 N forces, and the angle between the resultant and the 10 N force.
The two forces act in the same vertical plane. The particle \(P\) has weight 20 N and rests in equilibrium on the surface. Given that the surface is smooth, find
- the magnitude of the force exerted on \(P\) by the surface,
- the angle between the surface and the 10 N force.
