To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and apply the law of cosines to find the magnitudes of the two forces. ### Step 1: Define the forces Let the magnitudes of the two forces be \( A \) and \( B \). According to the problem, the ratio of the magnitudes of the forces is \( 3:5 \). We can express these forces in terms of a variable \( x \): - \( A = 3x \) - \( B = 5x \) ### Step 2: Write the equation for the resultant ...
