Three horizontal forces of magnitudes F N, 63 N and 25 N act at O, the origin of the x-axis and y-axis. The forces are in equilibrium. The force of magnitude F N makes an angle θ anticlockwise with the positive x-axis. The force of magnitude 63 N acts along the negative y-axis. The force of magnitude 25 N acts at tan-1 0.75 clockwise from the negative x-axis (see diagram). Find the value of F and the value of tan θ.
