Two forces of magnitudes 3P and 2P acting at an angle have a resultant R. If the first force is doubled without changing the angle, the magnitude of the resultant is doubled. This indicates that the angle between the forces is 120°. If the first force is tripled, the magnitude of the resultant is R=√67P2. Two forces P and Q acting at an angle have a resultant equal to P. If P is doubled, the new resultant is perpendicular to Q. This shows that the original forces P and Q must have been perpendicular. The resultant of two forces P and Q is the same whether the forces act together or one is reversed. This indicates that the two forces must have been
