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?
X = 2 N and y = 3 N
Fx = ‘sqrt ((2 N)^2 + (3 N)^2)
Fx = ‘sqrt ( 4 N^2 + 9 N^2)
Fx = ‘sqrt (13 N^2)
Fx = 3.6N
