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:
arctan(3N/2N)=56.3degrees
• What are the components of the equilibrant force?
answer/question/discussion:
X=2N*cos(56.3)=1.11
X=3N*cos(56.3)=1.66
X=1.11+1.66=2.77N
Y=2N*sin(56.3)=1.66
Y=3N*sin(56.3)=2.50
Y=1.66+2.50=4.16N
