Thing Equilibrium

Goal : formulating equilibrium theory in thing


A. Tools and Materials 1. Weight 2. Stative 3. Degree ruler 4. Balance 5. Homogeneous alumunium nod 6. String 7. Graph paper

B. Steps

1. First, identify the tools for this observation


2. Measure the length and mass homogeneous alumunium rod,

then tie yarn right in the middle


3. Arrange A, B, and C until balance. Write down the mass of each

load and then change into style scale


4. Measure angle

Information -each weight become FA, FB, FC, and wbtg F= w=mg -sceme follows the style to be like a picture
5. Calculate the vector component values on the y axis 6. Enter the measurement data and calculation into the table 7. Measure the length of arms against the central foerce rotation is

set, then calculate the moment of the force trough data analysis

Information : Length force is the closest distance to the center of the rotation. In the case can be used horizontal distance because the force used is vertical force FAY = FAcos FCY=FAcos

Moment of force is the product of force by the arm of force. Positive value when the movement of the fotce direction of rotation clockwise, the opposite value is negative when counterclock wise moment of force.

1. How the similarity between forces whish work on homogens

stick? Force resultant = 0


2. How the similarity between momen force which work on

homogens stick? 0

3. Write two basic theory based on homogens stick equilibrium!

F=0 and

E. Conclusion 1. Force resultant that work in homogen stick is 0 2. Moment resultant that work in equilibrium thing is 0 3. In equilibrium thing, applied two basic theory, there are

F = 0 and
