Addition of Force Vectors Abstract The purpose‚ of this experiment‚ was to prove that there is a relation between the magnitude of the resulting vector‚ and the angle between the vectors that are being added. The test was performed by creating a balance between three weights tied to strings on a pulley that transferred the string on top of a graduated disc‚ which made easy the measurement of the angles between them. After performing the experiment‚ my group concluded that there is a relation
