Force Tables

PHY 100 & 103

The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the method of adding vectors to form the resultant vector. The students will use the force table to calculate direction and magnitude of all the applied forces. The handout used is "Vector Addition".




Equipment

Name Location Quantity
Force Tables JE-105A-S12,18,24,30,36,42 1 per table
String JE-105A-D69,70 3 per table
Protractor JE-105A-D90 2 per table
Meter Stick - 1.00m JE-105A-(105 Door), D98 1 per table
Ruler, SAFE-T JE-105A-D90 1 per table


Notes

The three strings should be attached to the force table.

Make sure that the room has plenty of paper and that each table has a SAFE-T ruler and a meter stick.
