Using the force table for the first time it gives us a hard time to figure out
what angle are we going to use because the degrees are ranges from 360(0) to 360
degrees. We also have a problem during setting up the experiment when we put the
slotted mass into the mass hanger even though we computed the right angle of the
f4 then the ring is not in the center , it happened because the ring and the super
pulley clamp connected by a string. We just repeated the procedure and then we
positioned the supper pulley clamp into the right direction, I assumed that we must
put the supper pulley clamp in the right position in order to have an accurate
outcome. Overall the design of the equipment is good enough for the students to
use in experiment. (Figure 1)
In Physics, there are two physical amounts. It is either scalar or vector amount.
Scalar amounts contain size and unit like, mass, separation, and so on. Vector
amounts contain size, unit and heading like, relocation. Power is an exceptionally
normal case of a vector amount. Power is amount that is measured as Newton,
condensed as "N". We can quantify the power following up on an object by getting
the extent and the heading.
The targets of the analysis are: a.) to decide the resultant force of
simultaneous forces utilizing Graphical and Analytical strategy, b.) to decide the
primary state of balance and its suggestions, c.) to separate scalar from vector
amounts and look at resultant from equilibrant. We utilized materials, for example,
force table, super pulley with cinch, mass holder, opened mass, and protractor. At
initially, we have the force table. In the force table connected 4 super pulley with
clasps. The 4 super pulley with braces have mass holder on it. There is a ring on
the center of the force table. Our teacher have given us the edges and the masses to
be utilized as a part of the test. The teacher gave us directions on the best way to do
the investigation. After that, we set the opened masses on the mass holders
connected to each super pulley with cinch. We painstakingly picked the best
possible opened mass to save it for alternate mass holders and to get the resultant.
We precisely moved the super pulley with cinches in the best possible edges given
to us by our teacher.
In the examination we ought to have the capacity to locate the resultant.
Keeping in mind the end goal to get that we utilized experimentation to locate the
best possible edge and legitimate mass for the fourth super clip with pulley. We
painstakingly moved it to the most helpful edge inverse to where the three super
pulley with clasp are pulling the ring. We continue adding the best possible mass to
the mass holder until the ring gets to the middle. At the point when the ring at long
last gets to the focal point of the force table we accomplished the balance.
Notwithstanding when you pull the ring, it ought to backpedal to the middle.
Subsequent to doing the trial, we did a few strategies to locate the genuine
qualities. There are two strategy which are the Graphical technique and the
Analytical technique. Graphical technique is utilized to draw the chart of the
vectors. Ruler and protractor is required so as to get a precise drawing. Another
vital thing is the scale. Scale is utilized as a part of drawing extensive sizes of
estimations, for example, meters. One case is if the given estimation is 5 meters.
We should utilize scale here. We can set meters to 1 centimeter or different units.
1 𝑚: 1 𝑐𝑚 or 1 𝑚: 1 𝑚𝑚
With that we will be able to draw the vectors in a paper or other writing pads.
After the manual process of obtaining the resultant we recorded the mass
and the angle on each string as 𝐹1 , 𝐹2 , 𝐹3 , 𝐹4 , 𝜃1 , 𝜃2 , 𝜃3 & 𝜃4 .

The next method we used is the polygon method. We cannot use the
parallelogram method because given are 3 vectors. We can only use the
parallelogram method only when 2 vectors. These two methods are part of the
graphical method. We illustrated the vectors using polygon method. Here is a
sample of the polygon method.

By using the polygon method, it was found that F4 for trial 1 is and 𝜽𝟒 is
𝑅 = √(∑ 𝐹𝑥 )2 + (∑ 𝐹𝑦 )2
∑𝐹
= 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 (∑ 𝐹𝑦)

By using the formula we have found out that R and 𝜃 for Trial 1 is 81.46 g and
19.13°, respectively. In trial 2, we have found out that R and 𝜃 is 102.43 g and 0°,
respectively. Comparing to the actual values that we have gathered we can say that
the theories about the formula for R and 𝜃 is correct.
CONCLUSION
The first condition of equilibrium states that the sum of all forces acting on a
body or system is zero. We have to remember things in the first condition. We
have to include all of the vectors. Remember that forces are vectors. From the
force table experiment, we include the three vectors. After that, we determined the
fourth vector by moving the super pulley with clamp to the right angle and placed
the proper mass to the hanger. We reached equilibrium in the experiment when the
ring moved to the center of the force table.
