INTRODUCTION

In our world, almost people were know the word

called Vector. Vector is quantity that has magnitude
(size), direction, and represented by arrow. For
example, force, velocity, acceleration, are vector
quantity. Also, it very essential for physics because
it can solve many issue of physic. For the resultant
vector, equivalent vector which have the same size and
direction in angle regarding to the x-axis, we can use
various process of vector such as adding vector if it
has the same direction, subtracting vector if it has
opposite directions. In addition, we can use
parallelogram rule to find the resultant if two vectors
didnt equal in size and direction, also if two vectors
that stay at right angles to each other (perpendicular)
we can use Pythagorean Theorem. For equivalent vector
to find direction of vector we can use it by measure
their angle to x-axis and deduct its result by 360
degree.
According to the experiment, our class will use
table force to find to resultant and equivalence vector
of three force (hanging masses) that hang on pulleys
at three spot around the edge of the force table and
each hanging masses contain one hundred gram of metal.
Furthermore, we will use two method of vector which are
parallelogram and polygon technique for other result
and calculate the change of percent in two results to
be more accurate.
OBJECTIVE

1. To understand how to find the equilibrant of

magnitude and direction of vector.
2. To know the difference between two forces and three
forces.
3. To understand how to find the resultant of the forces.
4. To understand how to find the resultant and
equilibrant by using graphical method.
5. To know the difference of the result between
experimental result and graphical method result.
 MATERIALS

I. Force Table IV. Hanging Masses

II. Central Ring

V. Ropes

III. Pulleys
SETUP
 PROCEDURE
1. Prepares a force table, central ring, pulleys, and
hanging masses for the experiment.
2. Puts a 2 ropes to a pulleys and binds a pulley with
force table.
3. Binds the central ring with the rope and put it at
the center of the force table.
4. Binds hanging masses (100g) with the rope.
5. Moves the pulley along the circumference
(Direction) and increase/decrease the hanging mass
(Magnitude) to make the central ring floats at the
center.
6. Records the result in the table.
7. Repeats step 2-5 but changes to 3 ropes.

ANALYSIS AND RESULT

According to the result based on the resultant, we

learnt that the resultant and equilibrium can be changed,

if the magnitude and direction of the pulleys are being

moved. From that, the result of two table turned out to

have similar result. In order to make the ring balance in

the middle of the force table, we need to measure the

direction as well as the weight of the pulley. The results

from both experiment are perfectly fit to the Graphical

Method. From that, the results that we found from the

experiment are correct.

CONCLUSION

Through the experiment, we observed that the force table

can help us find the resultants of the two vectors or three

vectors (represents by pulleys) and the equilibrium. From that,

we can conclude if the vectors in any direction changes, this

can be effected and changed the resultant and also the

equilibrium.
 RECOMMENDATION

We should have make the force table balance

in the first place so that we could find the

correct degree.

We should not pull the string while measure

the force on the pulleys, that the pulleys

can be at the right amount of force.

While we proceeding the experiment, we

should let the force table stay still instead

of circulate the table back and forward.
