To verify the results of the experimental method, the vector component method and graphical method was used. The graphical method consist of the vectors are added tail to head, the resultant is drawn from the tail of A to the head of B and the angle is measured using a protractor. For the vector component method two the two forces where broken down into their x and y components and trigonometry is used to solve for the magnitude and direction of the resultant force. The main sources of error using the force table were friction forces on the pulleys, the fact that we ignored the mass of the strings, and errors in direction of the forces if the strings were not at 90 degrees to the a tangent to the ring. The most precise is the vector component method Lab Report PhyI-02: Mechanical Equilibrium
Physics I Laboratory Faculty of Science, UOIT there will be less human error. The equilibrant force values obtained where not equal which could be due to incorrect calculation or human error when reading the force table. Lab Report PhyI-02: Mechanical Equilibrium 2
