Basic Idea:

• Students will learn how to add vectors graphically, algebraically and on a force table.

• 8 

	What:	How Many:	Where:
	Force Table	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf V3, V4 & V5
	Force Table Pulley	3	non-Majors storeroom, shelf V3, V4 & V5
	Center Pin	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf V3, V4 & V5
	Force Table Mass Sets	3	non-Majors storeroom, shelf D3
	Ring & 3-Strings	1	non-Majors storeroom, hanging on the end of the aisle!
	Small Round Bubble Level	1	non-Majors storeroom, shelf AA3

Notes:

• Lab Setup (photo details):
  • Place the force tables so that 0° is to the right (see photos)
  • Leave all the parts (pulleys, masses, strings) on the lab bench for students to assemble.
  • Contents of each mass set:
    • (1) 50-g mass hanger
    • (9) 20-g masses
    • (1) 10-g mass
    • (2) 5-g masses
