Objective of Experiment:
To determine the weight(m) required to maintain a strut in both a Horizontal position and at an
angle.
Introduction and Background:
Torque is the cross product of the distance r and an applied force F. The moment arm is also
sometimes referred to as r and the force F is perpendicular to it.
and when a body is in rotational equilibrium, the sum of all torques, the net torque, must be equal
to zero at any point.
Experimental Setup:
The experimental setup from the manual was followed.
Length of rod = 59 cm
W1 = 100 g
L1 = 51.2 cm
X = 36.5 cm
W2 = 200 g
L2 = 31 cm
Y = 75.5 cm
Wr = 112.7
Lr = L/2 = 29.5 cm
Ls = 85 cm

Part 2
X1 = L1 cos()
X2 = L2 cos()
Xr = L1r cos()
Ls = 65
T * sin() * Lx = 11995.4

Conclusion:
This lab proved that we could determine the mass needed for a specific angle based on the result
of our calculations. (Issac, ur going to hav to type this; I came at the end of the lab so idk what it
was about)
