Answer:

the equilibrant is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In vector algebra, a resultant vector is a single vector that have the same effect as the effect of the net or algebraic sum of two or more vectors.

A resultant vector arises from finding the adding multiple vectors together.

When a group of vectors is replaced by a resultant vector, in order to keep the system of vectors at equilibrium, there is another vector which has the same magnitude as the resultant vector but acting in opposite direction to the resultant vector. This vector is called the equilibrant.
