Question

Please use triangle rule. I am having trouble with that method

**Problem 02.003.b - Resultant of Forces Applied to a Hook Using the Triangle Rule**

**Diagram Explanation:**
The image shows a force diagram with two forces, \( P \) and \( Q \), applied at point \( A \) on a hook support. The forces are represented by arrows:
- Force \( P \) makes a \( 20^\circ \) angle with the vertical line passing through \( A \).
- Force \( Q \) makes a \( 35^\circ \) angle with the vertical line and points in the opposite direction compared to force \( P \).

**Task:**
Determine graphically the magnitude and direction of their resultant using the triangle rule.

**Given:**
- \( P = 75 \, \text{N} \)
- \( Q = 195 \, \text{N} \)

**Result:**
- The magnitude of the resultant force is \( 245.8 \, \text{N} \).
- The direction of the resultant is \( 20.5^\circ \).
