Question

The Addition and Resolution of Vectors: The Force Table DATA TABLE Purpose: To analyze results of different methods of vector addition. Forces Experimental Graphical Analytical E= RE Vector F1+(0.200kg)g, @ 30 addition 1F2-(0.200kg)g, 120° R- 1. E Equilibrant or balancing force of the weights. R is the resultant. R E- 180 2. g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s2 3. Attach graphs and analytical calculations to Laboratory Report. 4. N- (kg)(m)(s) The Newton, N, is the unit of force. Don't forget to label units! 5. % means percent error.

Explanation / Answer

Analytical

F1 = 0.2 x 9.8 = 1.96N angle 30
= 1.96cos30i + 1.96sin30j

F2 = 1.96 angle 120
= 1.96cos120i + 1.96sin120j

R = 0.7174 i + 2.677j

= 2.772 N ... magnitude of the vector
