This document describes a lab session on applying and measuring two equal concurrent coplanar force vectors using a force triangle apparatus. The objectives are to experimentally find the resultant of two forces and verify it using the triangle and parallelogram laws of forces. Students will apply weights to represent the forces and measure the resultant, recording their data in a table. They will analyze any errors due to friction and apparatus condition.

LAB SESSION # 01

TITLE :
Apply two equal concurent coplaner force vectors on 'Face triangle apparatus' to
measure their resultant and verify it by splitting the triangular rule and
parallelogram law.

Objectives :
o To find the resultant of two forces experimentaly and verify it by theoretically.

o To apply triangle and parallelogram law successfully.

o To verify that resultant vector of equal forces in diagonals of a rhumbus.

APPARATUS :
· Force triangle apparatus

· Weights

· Threads

· Pulleys

· Hangers

THEORY :

Triangle law of forces : Triangle law of forces states that, If two forces
acting at a point are represented in magnitude and direction by the two adjacent sides
of a triangle taken in order, then the closing side of the triangle taken in the reversed
order represents the resultant of the forces in magnitude and direction.
Parallelogram law of forces : The law of parallelogram of forces states
that if two vectors acting on a particle at the same time be represented in magnitude
and direction by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram drawn from a point their
resultant vector is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the
parallelogram drawn from the same point .

PROCEDURE :
Following are the procedure of experiment.

· Clean the apparatus with with piece of cloth. And then tie all threads over pullys
and adjust the ring in middle of circular table.

· Now set required angels with pullys and add some equal weights on two sides as
F1 and F2 and other side as Resultant force R.

· Now add equal/same weights on F1 and F2 and calculate final resultant R in


table.

· Repeat some measurements with different weights on pans.And calculate data in


given below table.

TABLE :
COMMENTS :
l Errors must be occur due to thread friction in pullys.

l If apparatus condition is not good then there are chances of error in experiment
which we have perform.

l Do not make problem for others in lab.
