Taking rightwards and upwards as positive, equilibrium gives
From the horizontal equation,
Substituting into the vertical equation,
Hence and , so
(b)

The force is vertical, so the resultant must be horizontal. With , its vertical component is zero when
Thus
The horizontal component is then , so the resultant is non-zero and horizontal.
