Report of Forces Being in Equilibrium

Conclusion:
In this lab, equilibrium is the main idea. Equilibrium is a condition in which all the forces in a system counteract each other. When adding vectors, equilibrium can be showed by a representative force, called an equilibrant. The equilibrant is the same magnitude of the resultant force, but the equilibrant has the opposite direction of the resultant. This lab proves that the equilibrant counteracts the forces of three other vectors by testing data found by both graphing and calculating x- and y- coordinates. Each method has advantages and disadvantages in this lab.
