HELP Please

Right now, my computer shows Equilbrant with a red squiggle under it, indicating incorrect spelling. What word were you trying for here?

Did you by chance mean the Cartesian Equivalent? (100, 200) ?

 

[Anester]

Don't know what a Cartesian Equivalent is, but the correct spelling is Equilibrant.

Basically, getting back to where I started, I quess.

Equilibrant (still get the red squiggles), a vector with the same magnitude as the resultant with opposite direction.

I was able to figure out the process for the Resultant through a convoluted process of using a Vector Adding script then backed into the steps with other data I found on the web.

This actually helped to have the answer since I was able to trial/error the process. Next fun task was building a Excel step by step for my son; now he needs to memorize the formulas.
