V.Analysis of Results
7A)
In order to prevent mishaps, the spring balance was first placed in the right
position as this might have different results if done otherwise. Accurate dimensions
were also measured to minimize errors as well. For table 1, the arm balance must be
kept in a horizontal position, in order for that to happen the correct forces must be
applied in both the spring balances, again if done otherwise, yielded results will be
different than the expected results. In order to check this, the computation for % error
was applied.
For table no.2 the same process should be maintained, but the difference from table
no.1 is that Force 1 ( located at the left most part of the arm balance) should make an
angle along its vertical, meaning, a correct force must also be applied while
maintaining both the angle in the Force 1 and the 0 degree angle in the arm balance.
To check if we have established a correct angle, an angle indicator was placed at both
the spring balance and the arm balance.
VI. Problems
The 20-N force should be placed NEAR the opposite end of the beam,
not at the opposite end. Doing so will balance the beam.
VII. Conclusion
Torque will always be applied in our daily lives, we can easily see this while
turning knobs. It is important to consider the right radius and force to perform the
right torque which is essential and necessary to create the expected exact
outcome.
VIII. Recommendations
The experiments were performed in an orderly manner, it is just that if we had our
own set up in our table, everybody would have finished earlier.
