Two forces have magnitudes \(P \mathrm {~N}\) and \(Q \mathrm {~N}\). The resultant of the two forces has magnitude 12 N and acts in a direction \(40 ^ { \circ }\) clockwise from the force of magnitude \(P \mathrm {~N}\) and \(80 ^ { \circ }\) anticlockwise from the force of magnitude \(Q \mathrm {~N}\) (see diagram). Find the value of \(Q\).
