    Here v10 means root 10
    So its square is 10
    v13 means root 13
    So its square is 13

    Now refer to Muhammad Saqib's answer

    Mohammad saqib why aren't you using square of resultant?

    Given answer is incorrect
    Let the forces be f1 and f2
    f1²+f2²=10
    as the angle between them is 90 degrees
    when angle is 60
    f1²+f2²+2*f1*f2*cos(60)=13
    10+f1*f2=13
    3=f1*f2
    (f1+f2)²=f1²+f2²+2*f1*f2=10+6=16
    f1+f2=4...(1)
    f1-f2=√((f1+f2)²-4f1*f2)=2...(2)
    from (1) and (2) u get
    f1= 3 N f2= 1 N
