Equilibrant Force

The force required to keep a system of forces in equilibrium.

The force required to keep a system of forces in equilibrium is called the equilibriant of the system.

Equilibrant - the force required to keep a system of forces in balance

In the example above the two forces F₁ and F₂ can be added to F_(1,2).

The equilibrant E acting in the opposite direction of F_(1,2) keeps the system in balance.
