\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{48f66bd5-33c1-4ce9-85f9-69faf10e871c-2_558_529_258_808} Four horizontal forces act at a point \(O\) and are in equilibrium. The magnitudes of the forces are \(F \mathrm {~N}\), \(G \mathrm {~N} , 15 \mathrm {~N}\) and \(F \mathrm {~N}\), and the forces act in directions as shown in the diagram.
  1. Show that \(F = 41.0\), correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Find the value of \(G\).
