DEMONSTRATION OF TOGGLE JOINT APPARATUS
Objectives:
i. Determination of Mechanical Advantage of Toggle Joint
Apparatus experimentally and theoretically.
ii. Comparison of experimental and theoretical results.

Error = 6.19 %
Comments:
At start of the experiment, it shows a considerable amount of error but
the value of error reduced as we perform experiment again. Usually
this type of error occurs due to not performing experiment correctly.
Applications:
Toggle joint can be used for long time as they have high strength to
weight ratio. Therefore, they found many applications in the
mechanical field. They are basically consisting of light weight
members combine together to form a rigid, valuable and strong truss.
They found their applications basically due to mechanical advantage.
They are used in construction of buildings.
In cycle and motorcycle frames, Roof of industrial buildings and
many others.
