Addition of Force Vectors

Abstract

The purpose, of this experiment, was to prove that there is a relation between the magnitude of the resulting vector, and the angle between the vectors that are being added. The test was performed by creating a balance between three weights tied to strings on a pulley that transferred the string on top of a graduated disc, which made easy the measurement of the angles between them. After performing the experiment, my group concluded that there is a relation between the angle between the vectors and the magnitude of the resulting vector.

Introduction

Physics deals with the study of properties such as forces; these properties are represented not only by a magnitude, but by a direction as well. One of the tools that physics use to represent forces is the vector. In order to have a better understanding of the addition and subtraction of vectors, an experiment was performed. The experiment enabled us to see the relation between the......
