AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of the second force given that the resultant of two forces is 20 N, one force is \(20\sqrt{3}\) N, and it makes an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the resultant. We will use the law of cosines to find the magnitude of the second force. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Magnitude of the resultant force \( R = 20 \, \text{N} \) - Magnitude of the first force \( A = 20\sqrt{3} \, \text{N} \) - Angle between the first force and the resultant \( \theta = 30^\circ \) ...
