Formal Report Answers

1. Resultant force is the single force that produces the same effect of an object as two or more forces are applied to
the object. On the other hand, equilibrant force is the force that acts on a body at rest and counteracts the force
pushing or pulling the body in opposite direction. The resultant of two forces are calculated by adding all the vectors
in the given while the equilibrant force is obtained by getting the negative vector of the resultant force.

2. If three concurrent forces are in equilibrium, the relation between one of the forces would be the negative vector
of the resultant of the other two forces. They have the same magnitude but is opposite in direction.

3. If two forces with the same magnitude but were exactly in opposite directions, the magnitude of the resultant
would be 0 N and it will have no direction since the forces cancel each other out. Furthermore, the magnitude and
direction of the equilibrium would also be 0 N and has no direction since no value can be acquired from the resultant
vector.
