Trial 1
According to the result shown in the data tables, the resultant force
which is the combination of the initial forces are the same in
magnitude, but opposite in direction with the equilibrant force
which means they always make a 180 degree angle to each other.
The reason is that when the initial forces combine and create the
resultant force, the resultant force act on the object in one
direction. In order to make the object finds it's equilibrium, we must
counteract the resultant force with the equilibrant force with the
same magnitude but in exact opposite in direction. The
experimental result is almost the same with the result from
analytical and graphical method but minor errors occurs as they
are not exactly identical but almost the same, this might be caused
by uncontrolled factors such as friction.
Conclusion
To conclude, the experiment
done demonstrates how to
find the equilibrant using
force table, and how to use
the equilibrant force to find
the resultant force. Then, find
the same force stated using
graphing and analysis
method.
