Need new photo Fall 2025 - Nuke stuff about taking a photo;
add more about lab cleanup (removed from instructions)!

  • untangle strings
  • return masses to their boxes (quantities inside box cover)
  • place bubble level on top of force table
  • arrange all parts neatly on the bench

======================= Second Board Section =============================

• Vectors: (Note to Jeff: Draw vectors with arrows inboard as shown!)

• Don't add vectors graphically like this!

======================= Third Board Section =============================

• Resolving any vector into its components:
