The three coplanar forces shown in the diagram have magnitudes 3 N, 2 N, and \(P\) N. Given that the three forces are in equilibrium, find the values of \(\theta\) and \(P\).
The diagram shows forces of 3 N at an angle of 60° to the horizontal, 2 N at an angle of \(\theta\) to the horizontal, and \(P\) N vertically downward.
