If R is not zero, there should be some acceleration in the system. The knot connecting the three cords must be moving, but somehow not. Which of the following explains why the knot is at rest even if the R is not zero?

I. There is a small difference between the measured angle and the actual angle between the cords that will make the system to be at rest.
II. The calculations did not include the effects of friction in the pulleys, that is why R is not equal to zero.
III. The varying atmospheric pressure inside the lab changes the result. 
IV. The use of scaling (1 cm - 1 weight) did not capture the entire first condition since the units are not in Newtons.
