What is polygon law of vector addition?

THE POLYGON LAW states that if (n-1) similar vectors acting at a point in a plane can be represented both in magnitude and direction by the (n-1) consecutive sides of a n-sided polygon then the n-th side will represent the resultant vector in the reverse order.


What equilibrant force would balance forces of 12 lb east and 5 lb north acting at the same point?

the answer is 13lb south of west since the resultant is 13lb north of east. in getting the equilibrant force, just copy the resultant and reverse the direction. then that's it. .
