To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitudes of two forces \( A \) and \( B \) acting at a point, given that: 1. The sum of their magnitudes is \( A + B = 18 \) N. 2. The magnitude of their resultant \( R = 12 \) N. 3. The resultant \( R \) is at a \( 90^\circ \) angle with the smaller force \( B \). ### Step-by-step Solution: ...
