\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{2af7fd9a-aa78-4d77-aa4e-c01604c8b0ae-04_558_606_276_715} Two forces of magnitudes 20 N and \(F \mathrm {~N}\) act at a point \(P\) in the directions shown in the diagram.
  1. Given that the resultant force has no component in the \(y\)-direction, calculate the value of \(F\).
  2. Given instead that \(F = 10\), find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.
