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?
90 degree angle
• What are the components of the equilibrant force?
2N, -2N 3N, -3N
• What angle does the equilibrant force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
L;
180 degree angle
