force vector

"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 each other, leaving the object in equilibrium. (The object will appear to be at rest.) We will use the force table and Newton’s First Law to study the components of the force vector. we student , should be exposed more to these apparatus so that we will not find these things hard to use.
This lab was about constructing vectors graphically and being able to find the resultant of the vectors. Using a ruler to make the vectors and solving them graphically to find the resultants.
