Question

Differences between resultant and equilibrant .

Answer 1

Answer

⚫Resultant

◾It is a single force which produces the same effect as that of a system of forces acting on the body.

◾This resultant force produces accelerated motion of a body.

◾The algebraic sum of forces along with their resultant is not equal to zero.

⚫Equilibrant

◾It is a single force which is equal in magnitude but acts opposite to that of the resultant force.

◾Equilibrant force maintain static equilibrium of a body.

◾The algebraic sum of forces along with their Equilibrant is equal to zero..

Answer 2

$resultant$

RESULTANT vector is a direct quantity , one with both magnitude and direction . Resultant force produce the accelerated motion of a body

======================================

$equilibrant$

EQUILIBRANT vector is a force EQUAL TO , but OPPOSITE OF the resultant sum of vector forces . Equilibrant force maintain static equilibrium of a body
