Procedure
1.
Set up the Balance Arm with the
pivot at one end, a protractor at the
midpoint, and a second protractor
at the other end. Mount the Bal-
ance Arm in a lower corner of the
Statics Board.
2.
Mount the Spring Scale and a Pul-
ley on the board and use thread to
attach the Spring Scale to the pro-
tractor at the midpoint of the
beam.
3.
Use thread to attach a hanging
mass to the protractor at the end of
the beam.
4.
Make and record the necessary
measurements.
Data Table
Calculations
1.
Calculate the sum of the clockwise torques about the pivot point.

2.
Calculate the theoretical tension, T, in the thread.

Question
•
How does the force reading on the Spring Scale compare to the theoretical value for the tension in the cable?
