Three horizontal forces of magnitudes \(150 \mathrm {~N} , 100 \mathrm {~N}\) and \(P \mathrm {~N}\) have directions as shown in the diagram. The resultant of the three forces is shown by the broken line in the diagram. This resultant has magnitude 120 N and makes an angle \(75 ^ { \circ }\) with the 150 N force. Find the values of \(P\) and \(\theta\).
