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 equilibrant force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
answer/question/discussion:
Answer: theta=arctan(y component/x component) = arctan(3N/2N) = 56.3degrees.
What are the components of the equilibrant force?
answer/question/discussion:
Answer: x component of equilibrant force = -2N. y component of equilibrant force = -3N.
