    1) The document describes an experiment on torque and equilibrium using a virtual lab simulation. Students manipulate masses on a lever to achieve equilibrium states with zero net force and torque. 2) To test for equilibrium, students record mass positions, calculate individual forces and torques, and sum the clockwise and counter-clockwise torques, which must be equal. 3) The student's data table shows one configuration of masses that achieves equilibrium, with summed forces of 784.8 N and torque sums within 0.05 Nm of each other, satisfying both equilibrium conditions.

    Background

    A body is truly in equilibrium when it has no tendency to turn or move. This means no translation and no
    rotation.
    There are two conditions of equilibrium

    1. Net Force = 0  Fi = 0
    i

    Sum of forces on left = sum of forces on right


    Sum of forces upwards = sum of forces downwards

    2. Net Torque = 0 i = 0


    i

    Sum of clockwise torques = sum of counterclockwise torques

    The Lab Environment


    Spend a few minutes to understand/ explore the functionalities of the different tabs/components.

    Instructions

    1. Hold and drag the two masses


    on the lever such that the level
    is in equilibrium state.
    2. To adjust the lever in
    equilibrium state, drag the
    masses on the lever left or
    right. Make sure that the option
    Level is checked. It will help
    you to level the lever.
    3. You can put more than two
    masses (one on each side/ two
    on one side and one on the
    other/ two or more on both
    sides etc.) make sure the lever
    stands in equilibrium state.
    4. Once the level is in equilibrium,
    note down the masses that you
    kept on both the sides of the lever. Record the values in the Table 1. Let these values are m1, m2 ,....
    5. In the next column, multiply the masses by “g = 9.81 m/sec2, (the acceleration due to gravity) to find the forces
    F1, F2 ,....
    6. Find the total sum of all the forces. According to first condition of equilibrium, the total sum of the forces acting
    downwards must be equal to total forces acting vertically upwards. In this case the force acting vertically upwards is the
    normal reaction at the fulcrum. Find the normal reaction and record the result at the end of the table below.
    7. the forces acting on the right side. Find the total sum of the forces acting on the left side. If the sum if equal, then the
    8. Note down the distance of these forces from the center of rotation. Let these are d1, d2 , ..... Record these values in
    the next column.
    9. Calculate the moments by multiplying the forces with their respective distances. For example, multiply F1 with d1 . This
    will be the torque due to the force F1 , given by 1 = F1 d1 .
    10. Compute total torque both clockwise and counterclockwise separately. Add negative sign with clockwise torque and
    positive sign with counterclockwise torques.
    11. Note that in case the observations were taken carefully, both the clockwise and the counterclockwise torques will be
    equal.
