how do I calculate equilibrant and fx and fy. I don't understand what they are asking

Sagot :

(a) The equilibrant C for force of vector A and B is 3.43 N.

(b) The equilibrant C for fx of vector A and B is 2.1 N.

(c) The equilibrant  C, for fy of vector A and B is 2.12 N.

What is equilibrant force?

An equilibrant force is a single force that will bring other bodies into equilibrium.

From configuration 1:

Vector A: mass = 0.2 kg, θ = 20⁰

Vector B: mass = 0.15 kg, θ = 80⁰

Fx = mg cosθ

Fy = mg sinθ

where;

  • m is mass
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

Vector A

Force of A due to its weight

F(A) = mg

F(A) = 0.2 x 9.8 = 1.96 N

Fx = (0.2 x 9.8) cos(20) = 1.84 N

Fy = (0.2 x 9.8) sin(20) = 0.67 N

Resultant force

R = √(0.67² + 1.84²)

R = 1.96 N

Vector B

Force of B due to its weight

F(B) = mg

F(B) = 0.15 x 9.8

F(B) = 1.47 N

Fx = (0.15 x 9.8) cos(80) = 0.26 N

Fy = (0.15 x 9.8) sin(80) = 1.45 N

Resultant force

R = √(0.26² + 1.45²)

R= 1.47 N

Equilibrant  C of vector A and B

Equilibrant force:

Force, C = 1.96 N + 1.47 N

Force, C = 3.43 N

Equilibrant FX:

Fx, C = Fx(A) + Fx(B)

Fx, C = 1.84 N + 0.26 N = 2.1 N

Equilibrant FY:

Fy, C = Fy(A) + Fy(B)

Fy, C =0.67 N + 1.45 N = 2.12 N
