Post lab Questions
Q1: Explian the graphical vector addition with Tail-to-head method
We start by setting up our axies with respect to direction, this means that we have our positive axis and negative
axis for both x and y. Then we converted the force given to us in Newtons to cm via 10cm=1.0N, with this and the
degrees of the vector we drew the first vector, F1, onto the graph at the correct angle and distance usign a ruler
and protractor. Then from the head of that vector we drew the next vector with proper legnth and angle. Then we
drew a line connecting vector F2 to the origin which was labeled as P, measuring that legnth and angle gives us the
resultant vector.

Q2: Explain analytical vector addition with component method


We start by setting up our axis. Then we start drawing our vectors in a cartoon form. We drew the first vector F1 at
30 degrees originating from the orgin, then we drew F2 also 30 degrees from the orgin but in quadrant 2. Then we
form a right triangle with our vectors and start calculating for the resultants. Using sin and cos of the trigangles we
formed we will find the resultant vecor, we use the formila Rx= F1x-F2x( subratction becauseF2 is in the 2nd
quadrant, and Ry= F1y+F2y. Then we use inverse tan of Ry/Rx to find the angle of the resultant vector, and to find the
magnitude we do sqrt(Rx^2+Ry^2) which will give us our magnitude.

Q3: Explain equivalent vector that we have used in force table.


It is the same as r but in the completly opposite direction.

Q4: What is the direction of equvalant vector realtive to resulatant vector?


r= theta +180,The direction of the equivalant vector is the resultant directiom from table 2 + 180,
this means that our direction of hte equivenant vector is 112+180 which is 292 degrees.

Q5: Explain equilibrium of a particle or object under various forces.
