or -) in the data table. 6.) Next, add the x-components of the two assigned forces. Record the sum in the appropriate place in the chart. Now add the y-components of the forces. Record this value in the chart also. These values are the components of your resultant force (R). The resultant force is the single force that could replace your two assigned forces. 7.) De tot 7.)Determine the magnitude of R by taking the answers from step 6 and taking the square root of the sum of the components squared. Then find the directional polar angle of R (using the convention described in this activity) using its components and trigonometry. Record answers in your data table. 8.) Now, your equilibrant force (E) will be the vector that is the same size as R but directly 180 degrees opposite your resultant vector. Record the final value for the equilibrant force in your data table
