Physics 121: Lab 4 – Forces as Vectors
Introduction
In this lab, you will investigate force vectors. You may want to reference the following concepts from your course
textbook and/or other resources:
2-D forces
Static Equilibrium
Newton’s Second Law
Vector addition
Remember to prepare yourself prior to completing the lab by reading documents regarding procedures and use of
lab equipment and by reviewing the above topics.
Equipment
In this lab you will use the following equipment: Round force table with strings, pulleys, and a center holding pin,
hooked mass sets, and a force scale to measure the weight of the masses. Please be careful not to damage the
equipment by using it inappropriately.
Experiment/Analysis
Please read all instructions/procedures posted on the lab table and questions listed below before beginning the lab.
Then quickly complete your experiments and move to another table to discuss the questions.
Part I:
Choose a combination of three masses such that the two smaller masses have a combined mass that is bigger than
the mass of the third (
i.e.
- m
1
+ m
2
> m
3
, where m
1
< m
2
< m
3
). Hang each of the three masses from a different string
on the force table and try to adjust the angle between the pulleys until the system is in equilibrium (
i.e.
- the ring in
the center is not touching the centering pin). Use the circle below to draw the direction and magnitude of the forces.
Were you successful? Demonstrate mathematically that the system should be in equilibrium or explain why it cannot
be.

Yes we were successful, and as shown above it mathematically can be at equilibrium, as we used
the law of sin and cos to prove it.

The systems shown below are in equilibrium with m= 5.20 kg and ? = 28.0°. If the spring scales are calibrated in newtons, what do they read? Ignore the masses of the pulleys and strings and assume the pulleys and the incline are frictionless.
Figure (b): A diagonal pulley extends outward from the leftmost edge of a horizontal surface. An object of mass mis suspended from a string which passes over the pulley and anchored at the left end of a spring scale. Another string connects from the right end of the spring scale to a nearby wall.
Figure (d): An object of mass mis positioned upon an inclined plane of angle ?. A string parallel to the incline connects the object to a spring scale which is also parallel to the incline and positioned closer to the top of the incline. The opposite end of the scale is anchored at the incline's highest point.

Applying principles of dynamics (written detailed solutions please :( )
A game requires that two children throw a ball upward as high as possible at the same point and then to run horizontally in opposite directions. The child who travels the greater distance before their thrown ball impacts the ground winds. One child throws the ball at his arm’s height of 4.5 ft at a speed of 69 ft/sec and runs leftward at a speed of 16 ft/sec. The other child does the same but was able to throw better releasing his ball at a heigh of 6 ft at a speed of 71 ft/sec then runs rightward at a speed of 17 ft/sec. Which child wins the game?
