The resultant force is the sum of all the forces on a system and
is determined by the component method through the Pythagorean
Theorem. While, the equilibrant force produces equilibrium in all the
forces in a system. This means that when the forces and the
equilibrant force are combined, the resultant force will result to a zero
force. Moreover, the equilibrant force is always equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction to the resultant force. Therefore, in order to
determine the equilibrant force, the resultant force must first be
determined.
2. If three concurrent forces are in equilibrium, what is the relation
between any one of the three forces and the resultant of the other two
forces?
4. Use the component method to find the magnitude and direction of the
resultant of the following forces:
A= 2000.0N at 0*
B= 1500.0N at 60*
C= 1000.0N at 150*
D= 3800.0N at 225*
