How do the theoretical values for the magnitude and direction of the equilibrant compare to the actual magnitude and direction obtained graphically and experimentally?

They're right on! The agreement is truly astonishing ... within less than 0.4 percent all around.
This proves beyond a doubt that not only was my theoretical analysis flawless, but my
graphical representation was equally precise, my experiment was brilliantly designed,
outside influences were completely eliminated, and my measurements of the experimental
results were perfect.
This entire exercise has been a major triumph on my part, and has substantially enhanced
my pride and self-esteem, not to mention my standing in the eyes of the faculty and the
adoration of my peers.

How is the equilibrant related to the net force?
It is equal in magnitude(measurement without direction) and opposite in direction.
What is equilibrant forces?
The force is said to be "equilibrant" when acting with other forces it would keep the body at rest ie in equilibrium. Hence equilibrant would be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of all the forces acting on the body.
Define the angle of the equilibrant vector?
vector equal in magnitude and opposite direction
Can you graphically represent a vector which has magnitude but no direction?
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?
The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
How do you solve for Equilibrant force?
Use pythagorean theorem to get the magnitude of the resultant force… The fourth force that would put this arrangement in equilibrium (the equilibrant) is equal and opposite the resultant. The components work this way too. To get the opposite direction angle, add on 180°.
What equilibrant force would balance forces of 12 lb east and 5 lb north acting at the same point?
the answer is 13lb south of west since the resultant is 13lb north of east. in getting the equilibrant force, just copy the resultant and reverse the direction. then that's it. .
Two forces are exerted on an object A 39 N force acts at 220degrees and a 55 N force acts at 315degrees What are the magnitude and direction of the equilibrant?
you fail in grade 11 physics
Velocity is represented graphically by an what?
By an arrow, a vector. Velocity is a vector quantity that must have both magnitude (speed) and direction (bearing).
How can you experimentally distinguish an electric field from a gravitational field?
Introduce two opposite charged objects one AT A TIME and if they move IN THE SAME DIRECTION, they are in a gravitational field, if they move IN DIFFERENT direction they are in an electric field.
How a vector represented?
A vector is represented graphically as an arrow. The direction indicates the direction, the length is proportional to the magnitude of the vector. Note that it is difficult to accurately represent vectors of 3 or more dimensions on a 2-dimensional sheet of paper.
What is an equilibrant force?
Equilibrant of two or more forces is a foece or combinatio of forces whice give balance to the both left and right forces orforwards backwards forces.It is equal in magnitude with resultant force, but opposite direction.
