    This manual contains descriptions of the included equipment and instructions for one experiment. About the Equipment The PASCO Model ME-9447B Force Table is used to physically demonstrate the addition of vectors using the concept of equilibrium (net force is zero). The vectors are forces supplied by the weight of masses (not included) that hang over pulleys.

  • Page 5 Arrange the strings over the pulleys. Attach a mass hangers to each string. NOTE: A string can be attached to a PASCO mass hanger by wrapping the string four or five times around the notch at the top of the mass hanger.

  • Page 8 Hang the following masses over two of the super pulleys and clamp the pulleys at the given angles. Table 1.1: Force Mass Angle 50 g (0.050 kg) 0° 100 g (0.100 kg) 120° Procedure (Experimental Method) By trial and error, find the angle for the third super pulley clamp and the mass that must be suspended over the pul- ley so that its weight will balance the forces exerted on the strings by the other two masses.
