Force Board (1J30.50)

Description:

Three strings are tied together to a common point, with their other ends passing over three pulleys and supporting three weights. Two different combinations of weights and string angles are available that will leave the common point in equilibrium under the three forces.


Procedure or Operation Notes:

The two configurations (labeled in red and black) are rotationally similar.

The weights are 500, 866, and 1,000 grams.
