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?
C= sqrt(2N^2+3N^2)
C= 3.6N
Arctan(3N/2N)= 56.3 degrees

• What are the components of the equilibrant force?
X= -2N, Y= -3N

• What angle does the equilibrant force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
Arctan(-3N/-2N)+180= 236.3 degrees
The vector is in the first quadrant and the equilibrant is in the third quadrant.
