Install the String Tie
The String Tie is used to indicate when forces are in equilibrium. Forces pulling on the
movable clear disk are balanced when the disk is centered in the String Tie ring.The
String Tie needs to be installed in the Force Table before first use.
Figure 1. A String Tie partially inserted into the circular recess of the Force Table.
1. Align the tabs of the String Tie with the notches in the circular recess of the Force
Table.
2. Insert one tab into one of the rectangular holes and press down until it snaps in
place.
3. Press down firmly on the other side of the String Tie until the other tab snaps into
place.
When the String Tie is correctly inserted, the top surface of the clear plastic disk will be
flush with the surface of the Force Table. You do not need to remove the String Tie after
installing it.

Two additional String Ties are included with the Force Table as spares. Use one of the
spares to replace a damaged String Tie.

2. Press the two tabs of the String Tie inward toward each other. Push out the String
Tie to release it from the Force Table.
