Document Summary
To measure the magnitude and direction of the resultant of several concurrent forces and to verify these results using analytical methods and force triangles. Do not forget to include the mass of the hanger in your total mass: repeat steps 1 to 4 two more times with the pulleys set to different angles. pg. Possible sources of errors for this experiment are: There are a couple of sources of errors that could have happened in this experiment. The angle measurement could have been a little off and not have been recorded properly. Also, the ring could not have been exactly in the middle. The force triangles on the graph show that the net forces on the ring where very close to zero. This is supported by the x and y components of the net force which were: For trial # 1 fx= -45 n fy= 1 n. For trial # 2 fx= -26 n fy= -4 n.
