Question 1.

It is important that the ring is at the center as it determines whether the weight of each pulley is at
equilibrium. Although the mass hangers have equal masses, they cannot be disregarded. Rather than
disregarding the mass hangers’ weight, the angle and direction of the pulleys should be kept in mind.
Even if they each have the same mass or weight, it does not necessarily mean that all weights are in
equilibrium. For instance, if all mass hangers have the same mass of 5mg, but three of them are placed in
angles 45°, 60°, and 75° respectively, then the ring is most likely to lean over to one side rather than
staying at the center. Thus, the given mass, even if it is equal, along with the ring’s role to be at the center
is equally important.

Question 2.
When the forces are nearly in equilibrium although not entirely, a tiny change in the balance can actually
have a big impact.

Question 3.
F1, F2 and F3 are important variables in calculating the actual mass of F4 thus, they provide a concrete
answer for the missing piece in order for the overall experiment to have a stable equilibrium. The four
components cannot function with the absence of the other or the inadequacy in realizing the actual masses
since they contribute to the stability of the central ring.

Conclusion

The Resolution of Forces is essential in everyday living, in situations where balance and force
distribution are required. As applicable as it is to life, for us to truly live, we must put calculated weight to
every factor, experiences and people that comes our way; we must not sink, lapse, lack, or overweigh in
every component.

The experiment provided results demonstrating how to equalize central constancy using an
apparatus consisting of 4 component-related tools (super pulleys with clamps), a force table, mass hangers,
slotted masses, and a protractor. To justify the results, the exact value of the resultant and the angle
undergone Polygon, and Component methods with corresponding errors in percentages to prove the
accurateness of F4 and actual angle.

With identical results of an actual F4 and angle to Polygon and Component method for Trial 1 (250
g and 270° respectively) and Trial 2 (55 g 270° respectively), the percentage of error is equal to 0. With the
integration of analytical and graphical methods, the results are further elaborated and explained.

It is shown that there is a wide-ranging possibility when it comes to force distribution, the balancing
of masses involving 2 or more components and the experiment is a representation of how forces move,
behave, and control the environment.
