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 a force are 2 Newtons and 3 Newtons repectively.
What are the magnitude of this force and what angle does it make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
4+9 = sqrt(13)
= 3.6 N
arctan(3/2) = 56.3°

&#Very good responses. Let me know if you have questions. &#
What are the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
the x and y components of the equilibrant of the force are the opposite of the x and y components of the force.
x = 10sin(20) = 3.4
y = 10cos(20) = 9.4
