Question
Which method gives more accurate results, graphical or experimental method? Explain the
probable sources of error for each method

graphical method because it gives more accurate results.

- graphical method
1) personal error :- not using a suitable scale .
2) systematic error:- by using irregular measuring ruler to draw the arrow.
3) Random error :- unbiased estinates of measurment reading by the Observel

- experimental method
1) Personal error :- careless in reading or using an instrument.
2)
⑦°@⑦systematic error :- error in force table or not stable.
Conclusions
3) Random error :- may be the force table were put on un flat table.

Conclusions
we learned how to determined the resultant R of two forces or more by two
different techniques: graphically and analytically.
