  1. Three forces \(( - 5 \mathbf { i } + 4 p \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N } , ( 2 q \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N }\) and \(( \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { N }\) act on a particle \(A\) of mass 2 kg .
Given that \(A\) is in equilibrium, find the values of \(p\) and \(q\).
