    This lab report summarizes a student experiment using a force table to study vectors. The students used hanging masses and pulleys attached to a central ring to represent vectors and find the resultant and equilibrant vectors. They found that the resultant and equilibrant are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. The experiment demonstrated how changing the angles of the input vectors affects the resultant. The students concluded that the experiment helped them better understand vectors and how to calculate them using methods like the parallelogram law.

    OBJECTIVE
    To use different way to find
    resultant and equilibrant

    To know the importance


    of vector force

    To understand more about


    vector and how to calculate

    To prove reaction
    and action
    INTRODUCTION
    Vectors quantity have both
    magnitude and direction
    example of vectors
    are forced, velocity, and
    acceleration. A vector
    represented by an arrow.
    The sum of two or more
    vectors is called Resultant
    and the Equilibrant is the
    opposite direction of
    Resultant. Since the sum of
    the two vectors is zero and an
    object acted upon by these two forces would be
    in equilibrium.

    This experiment is about adding vector,learn


    how parallelogram and
    polygon are formed,
    and understand about
    resultant and equilibrant and
    how to find them.
    MATERIALS
    force table

    rope

    pulley hanging masses

    central ring
    SET UP
    PROCEDURES
    Prepare materials for the experiment

    Set the force table to be balance

    Put the center ring on the center of force


    table

    Give the first pulley as F1 and the second


    pulley is F2

    Label and hang the 100g of mass to the


    F1 at 30 degrees to the North of East and
    100g to F2 at 45 degrees to the North of
    West.

    Find the resultant by trying to make the


    center rings balance and label it as F3

    Do the same as the step5 and add more


    pulley which is F3 25 degree to the South
    of West

    Find the resultant by


    balance the center ring
    and label as F4

    Calculate F3 and F4
    DATA & RESULT
    ANALYSIS

    After we did the experiment, we can notice that


    magnitude and direction of the resultant and
    equilibrant depend on the two vectors. As you
    can see from the data table, we have the same
    magnitude and direction of vectors so we have
    the same resultant and equilibrant for both data
    table. It shows that, If one of the vectors change
    the resultant and equilibrant will change too.
    CALCULATE 1
    CALCULATE 2
    CONCLUSION
    Based on the experiment, we use force table
    experiment to find the resultant of the two vectors and
    we can prove and find that resultant is equal to the
    equilibrant but in the opposite direction. We knew
    more what resultant and equilibrant are. Furthermore,
    this experiment shows the connection between angles
    and vectors. We understand how the method
    parallelogram and polygon works. Also, we learned
    that length of the resultant and the equilibrant always
    the same, but in a different direction. If the length of
    resultant is 20 to the north, so the length of the
    equilibrant is 20 but to the south. This experiment can
    help us to understand more about vectors. So we think
    that we will apply this idea of doing vector experiment
    to our math class by using the different method to find
    the answer of the vector.
    RECOMMENDATION
    We moved the force table because
    we wanted to set the pulley and to
    do the experiment easier. Because of
    this, the force table wasnt balance.
    We will improve by awaring more
    about it.

    We set up the pulley too tight so next


    time we will set up more loosely to
    move them easier and neat.
