Forces and equilibrium — practice question

At one point, four coplanar forces act. Their magnitudes are $F\text{ N}$, $2F\text{ N}$, $3F\text{ N}$ and $30\text{ N}$. Their directions are illustrated in the diagram.
(main)[6]

Since the forces are in equilibrium, determine the value of $F$ and the value of $\theta$.
