Consider two vectors where F1 = 38 N, F2 = 58 N, and = 240o and = 25o, measured from the positive x-axis with counter-clockwise being positive. What is the magnitude of the equilibriant?

Question

Consider two vectors where F1 = 38 N, F2 = 58 N, and  = 240o and  = 25o, measured from the positive x-axis with counter-clockwise being positive. What is the magnitude of the equilibriant?

Add those two vectors by adding x and y components separately. The equilibrant will have the same magnitude (as the resultant) but be in the opposite direction.
