(8.) Two unequal forces inclined to one another at an angle of have a resultant of 86.6 N, which makes an angle of with one of the forces. Find the magnitude of two forces.

(9.) The resultant of two forces acting at an angle of is . If they act at right angle their resultant would be . Find the magnitude of the forces.

(10.) Two forces equal to 2F and F act on a particle. If the first is doubled and the second is increased by 15 N, the direction of resultant remains unaltered, find the value of F.

(11.) The magnitude of the forces acting on the bracket as shown in Fig. 3, are P = 200 N and Q = 150 N. The bracket will fail if the magnitude of the total force exceeds 300 N. determine the acceptable range of the angle
