P : Q = 3 : 5 => Q = 5 P / 3
according to the vector law of addition, the resultant of forces:
49² = P² + Q² + 2 P Q Cos 60
= P² [ 1 + 25/9 + 2 * 5/3 * 1/2 ]
P = 21 N
Q = 5/3 * 21 N = 35 Newtons
according to the vector law of addition, the resultant of forces:
49² = P² + Q² + 2 P Q Cos 60
= P² [ 1 + 25/9 + 2 * 5/3 * 1/2 ]
P = 21 N
Q = 5/3 * 21 N = 35 Newtons
