$if they have equal magnitudes how can these forces$ $be 10, 20, 30 ?$

	$F_{1} = f_{1} (\begin{matrix} \cos 30 ° \\ \sin 30 ° \end{matrix}) = f_{1} (\begin{matrix} \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix})$ $F_{2} = f_{2} (\begin{matrix} \cos 120 ° \\ \sin 120 ° \end{matrix}) = f_{2} (\begin{matrix} - \frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \end{matrix})$ $F_{3} = f_{3} (\begin{matrix} \cos 210 ° \\ \sin 210 ° \end{matrix}) = f_{3} (\begin{matrix} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ - \frac{1}{2} \end{matrix})$ $F_{1} + F_{2} + F_{3} = \frac{1}{2} (\begin{matrix} \sqrt{3} f_{1} - f_{2} - \sqrt{3} f_{3} \\ f_{1} + \sqrt{3} f_{2} - f_{3} \end{matrix}) =$ $[if f_{1} = f_{2} = f_{3} = f]$ $= \frac{f}{2} (\begin{matrix} 1 \\ \sqrt{3} \end{matrix})$
