The equilibrant of a force is the force which is equal and opposite to that force. If two forces are equal and opposite, their x and y components are also equal, but the x and y components of the force are opposite in sign to those of the equilibrant.
The x and y components of the equilibrant of a force are 2 Newtons and 3 Newtons repectively.
What angle does the force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
answer/question/discussion:
Since these are the equilibrant of a force then 2 newtons and 3 newtos will be - since they are equal and opposite. we now can take the tan^-1 of the ycoord./xcoord.We have (-3n/-2n)tan^-1=56.3deg
What are the components of the force?
answer/question/discussion:
First we use the pathag. theorem to find the hyp.c=sqrt(-2^2+-3^2),c=sqrt(13),c=3.6.Now we know the hyp. we can use the equation L sin(`theta) and cos(theta). x component is 3.6*cos(56.3deg)=1.8 and the y component is 3.6*sin(59.3deg)=3.1
