Observe the diagram :
\The angle created by

meet, as shown in above figure.
makes a
angle and
makes a
angle with the horizontal.
Thus, the angle created by
and
is
.
Draw the resultant
.
The three vectors form a triangle.
\
Use the law of cosines to find the magnitude of
.
Law of cosines :
.

Use the law of sines to find the angle opposite of
.

Therefore, the angle opposite of
is about
.
To find the bearing of
, subtract
from
.
Thus, the direction of
is a bearing of
.
Since the equilibrant vector is the opposite of resultant vector, it will have a magnitude of about
at a bearing of about
.
\
The magnitude of the quilibrant vector is about
at a bearing of about
.
