Write two properties of vector addition.

Statement $I :$Two forces $(\overrightarrow{{P}}+\overrightarrow{{Q}})$ and $(\overrightarrow{{P}}-\overrightarrow{{Q}})$ where $\overrightarrow{{P}} \perp \overrightarrow{{Q}}$, when act at an angle $\theta_{1}$ to each other, the magnitude of their resultant is $\sqrt{3\left({P}^{2}+{Q}^{2}\right)}$, when they act at an angle $\theta_{2}$, the magnitude of their resultant becomes $\sqrt{2\left({P}^{2}+{Q}^{2}\right)}$. This is possible only when $\theta_{1}<\theta_{2}$.
