What is an equilibrant?

Physics

Damm [24]3 years ago

<span>The equilibrant, also known as the counterbalancer in a force system, is an equal but opposite force that produces equilibrium. It acts against the resultant force to keep a body motionless. Suppose we have a 20kg mass on one end of a swing and nothing on the other. The swing will be titled unevenly because no force balances the 20kg weight. On the other hand suppose a weight of 40kg rest on the other end. This force doesn't produce equilibrium either because it isn't equal to the 20kg weight; the swing would tilt towards the weight of larger mass. A 20kg mass will balance the system. Hence the force which balances other forces, thus bringing an object to equilibrium is the equilbrant.</span>

ANEK [815]

Answer:

15.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s²

From the question,

F-W = ma......................... Equation 1

Where F = Tension on the line, W = weight of the fish, m = mass of the fish, a = acceleration of the fish.

But,

W = mg........................ Equation 2

Where g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F-mg = ma

make a the subject of the equation

a = (F-mg)/m.................... Equation 3

Given: F = 150 N, m = 6 kg,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

a = [150-(6×9.8)]/6

a = (150-58.8)/6

a = 91.2/6

a = 15.2 m/s²

Hence the minimum acceleration of the fish = 15.2 m/s²
