Solution

The equilibrant of two vectors is the vector that balances the two given vectors. It is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of the two vectors.

The resultant of two vectors P and Q is given by R = P + Q.

Given vectors P = <-2,10,-5> and Q = <3,2,1>, we can find the resultant by adding the corresponding components of P and Q.

So, R = P + Q = (<-2,10,-5> + <3,2,1>) = (<-2+3, 10+2, -5+1>) = <1, 12, -4>

The equilibrant is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant. Therefore, the equilibrant E is given by E = -R.

So, E = -R = -<1, 12, -4> = <-1, -12, 4>

Therefore, the equilibrant of the vectors P = <-2,10,-5> and Q = <3,2,1> is E = <-1, -12, 4>.
