(Percent differences should not be rounded to one significant figure.) HINT percent difference = % 0
Solution
To approach the problem, we need to analyze and understand the following aspects:
-
Given Information:
- The table provides data for forces and .
- The resultant force is also given, along with the equilibrant.
-
Force Analysis:
- The resultant force is the vector sum of and .
- The equilibrant force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to . It balances the system.
