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?
magnitude is sq root of 13 = 3.6N. Angle is -tan(3N/2N) = 56.3 degrees.

What angle does the equilibrant force make as measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis?
-tan(-3N/-2N) + 360 = 236 degrees.
