The resultant of forces along AB and CD : p - 3p = - 2p = P
this is along CD direction
resultant of forces along BC and DA : 2p - 4p = - 2p = Q
this is along DA direction.
since P and Q are equal in magnitude and are perpendicular to each other , it is easy to find the resultant.
The resultant of forces P and Q will be √2 2 p
the direction is 45 deg. to either DA or BA.
