"The Force Table" is a simple tool for demonstrating Newton’s First Law and the vector nature of forces. This tool is based on the principle of “equilibrium”. An object is said to be in equilibrium when there is no net force acting on it. An object with no net force acting on it has no acceleration. By using simple weights‚ pulleys and strings placed around a circular table‚ several forces can be applied to an object located in the center of the table in such a way that the forces exactly cancel

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

Chapter 1 Vectors‚ Forces‚ and Equilibrium 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to give you a qualitative and quantitative feel for vectors and forces in equilibrium. 1.2 Introduction An object that is not accelerating falls into one of three categories: • The object is static and is subjected to a number of different forces which cancel each other out. • The object is static and is not being subjected to any forces. (This is unlikely since all objects are subject to the force of gravity

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this experiment is to practice the addition of vectors graphically and analytically and to compare the results obtained by these two methods. APPARATUS: Cenco force table with pulleys. Metal ring‚ strings‚ weight hangers and weights. Rulers and protractors. The force table provides a means for applying known forces at one or more points and in various directions in the horizontal place. The forces are the tensions in strings which pass over pulleys attaches to the rim

HL Vectors Notes 1. Vector or Scalar Many physical quantities such as area‚ length‚ mass and temperature are completely described once the magnitude of the quantity is given. Such quantities are called “scalars.” Other quantities possess the properties of magnitude and direction. A quantity of this kind is called a “vector” quantity. Winds are usually described by giving their speed and direction; say 20 km/h north east. The wind speed and wind direction together form a vector quantity

Resolution of vector Introduction: The main objective of this lab is to add and resolve vectors using three distinct methods. 1) Graphical: When two forces act upon an object‚ their combined effect can be determined by adding the vectors‚ which represent forces. One method of performing this addition is known as graphical method of vector addition. In this method‚ arrows are drawn in the direction of forces. The lengths of arrows are proportional to the magnitude of vectors. The resultant

Resolution of Vectors Equilibrium of a Particle Overview When a set of forces act on an object in such a way that the lines of action of the forces pass through a common point‚ the forces are described as concurrent forces. When these forces lie in the same geometric plane‚ the forces are also described as coplanar forces. A single G G equivalent force known as the resultant force FR may replace a set of concurrent forces F1 and G F2 ‚ as shown. This resultant force is obtained by a process of vector addition
