Homework Statement
Three cables pull on the pipe such that they create a resultant force having magnitude FR. If two
of the cables are subjected to known forces, as shown in the figure, determine the direction θ of
the third cable so that the magnitude of force F in this cable is a minimum. All forces lie in the
x–y plane.What is the magnitude of F? Hint: First find the resultant of the two known forces.

I have the solution
but i don't understand "minimum" in this question?
"the third cable so that the magnitude of force F in this cable is a minimum. "
