Hello,

You can apply the Parallelogram Law of Vector Addition to proceed towards solution for your query.


-------  The law states " if we place two vectors so they have the same initial point, and then complete the vectors into a parallelogram, then the sum of the vectors is the directed diagonal that starts at the same point as the vectors."


------- Suppose the Forces acting be F1 and F2, so going the initial statement -


Resultant, R= 10 = √( F1^ 2 + F2^ 2).    ---- (i)


Also from the next statement -


146 = √ ( F1^ 2 + F2^ 2 + 2 F1 F2 Cos 60) ------ (ii)


On Solving the two equations you will get solution to your query.


Thank you.
