Principle

Based on their knowledge of Experiment ME 2.7, the students should determine the direction and magnitude of the resultant force  Fr  which replaces the two different forces  F1  and  F2. Without knowledge of the trigonometric functions, the evaluation can be performed graphically with the aid of a force parallelogram or it can be calculated as a supplementary problem, if the students are familiar with the trigonometric functions.

The protractor sheet (circle with angular divisions) which is required for the evaluation is provided as a master which can be copied. The xerox copies should be given to the students before they begin the experiment.
