The magnitudes of the forces are \(10 \mathrm {~N} , F \mathrm {~N} , G \mathrm {~N}\) and \(2 F \mathrm {~N}\). The directions of the forces are as shown in the diagram.
  1. Given that the forces are in equilibrium, find the values of \(F\) and \(G\).
  2. Given instead that \(F = 3\), find the value of \(G\) for which the resultant of the forces is perpendicular to the 10 N force.
