A. POLYGON FORCES
I.
PURPOSE
To justify some forces that are in equilibrium position satisfies the
equation below:
And these forces can be drawn in a closed polygon forces where the sides
of the polygon represent the forces including the value and its direction.
II.
THEORY
Design a structure base from its weight and forces working on the
structure with movement that influences the structure itself. Normally
there is no movement produced in the structure such that the structure is in
static equilibrium position.
And so the forces that are in equilibrium must satisfy this two equation.
Such are: 1. Resultant of all forces must be equal to zero (0) and moment
from all points must be zero (0). In mathematical equation, condition can
be said as:
The experiment which is done UI gave a clear understanding for all aspect
of equilibrium and the application of its forces in a scope and free body diagram.

ANALYSIS
a. Experiment Analysis
This practical mainly about equilibrium forces, all of the experiment involve
balancing weight so that equilibrium state is reached. In this sub chapter, polygon
forces are made to show what we have done in the experiment to reach the
Universitas Indonesia
equilibrium state. This polygon forces experiment purpose is to test some forces
in equilibrium position that fulfill the equation of
. Not to
mention these forces can be pictured as closed polygon forces where the sides of
the polygon represent forces, its quantity and its direction. Apparatus that are used
in this experiment are forces plane, single pulley, double pulley, rope, weight
hanger, and scotch tape, 2 rings that are interconnected with rope and a single
ring. There are two parts of experiments that need to be done here such are:
polygon forces on concurrent and non-concurrent forces.
In the first experiment, concurrent forces are being tested first. The first step in
doing this experiment is to place A1 paper on the forces plane, the purpose of
placing the A1 paper onto the plane is to provide room for sketching the direction,
amount of forces that are to be made in order for the ring to reach equilibrium
condition. Then make a 6 mm hole diameter in the center of the paper so that
center peg can be installed as a guidelines in providing visual condition of ring
that are in equilibrium position.
Then single ring are to be tied with 6 ropes and are to be connected in each of the
pulleys provided. In each of the rope, install the weight hanger which weight
about 0.5N. Take note that the ring are to be place in the center peg and weight are
apply to the weight hanger that are connected to the rope and slowly observe and
adjust the weight so that the ring can be in the center position. After an
equilibrium state is reach, then sketch the image of how the experiment is done
onto the A1 paper, and take note the weight. Every rope is named as P1, P2, P3,
P4, P5 and P6.
In the second experiment, we are to test the non concurrent forces. Single ring
are to be replaced with double ring that are interconnected with a 0.13 meter
length rope. Tied 3 ropes in each of the ring then connect every rope to the pulley
provided. Hang the weigh hanger and find the equilibrium of it. In the equilibrium
state, the two rings are in the horizontal position and no elevation is made. The
position of the rings must be 180o. When the equilibrium is reached, all the ropes
Universitas Indonesia
that are installed in the system and the two rings are all being sketch onto the A1
paper provided on the forces plane. The weight, direction and angle must all be
written and drawn in that paper. Every rope is named as P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and
P6.
b. Calculation analysis

Concurrent forces
Results that are obtained in this experiment are weight, angle and sketched forces.
From those forces, we need to transform all those result in x and y axis. Therefore,
every force have two components which is Fx and Fy.

After obtaining the x and y component of the force, we can ensure that the sum of
every component must be 0 (equilibrium position). Fx = 0 dan Fy = 0

Highlighted result on the table above represents the resultant of the component
forces. As we can see from the result, the resultant of the component forces is not
equal to zero, this means that the system are not equilibrium enough. Relatives
error that are being calculated in this experiment are:
Forces Component
Relatives Error
Fx
7.5%
Fy
51.2%
This can occur when the centre peg is not exactly in this middle and therefore the
system did not reach equilibrium state and therefore if we look in the polygon
forces, the forces did not form a perfect polygon.

Similar to the experiment done in the concurrent forces, the results of this
experiment are weight, angle and sketched forces. This is the formula for the
calculation.

In the part in bold is the sum of each moment in each spot. Obtained from the
calculation, the number of moments is not zero; it indicates that the state of the
system with dual ring is not quite balanced. And so relatives error of this
experiment can be calculated.
M at point
Relatives Error
5.59%
4.9%
This could be due to the rope connecting the two rings have not fully 180o so the
system is not in balance and it can also be shown to not be closed polygon style.
c. Relatives Error
1. Concurrent Forces
To determine relatives errors that are being made by the concurrent forces we
should use formula below as our guideline:
Universitas Indonesia
12
From this equation the relatives error obtained are 7.5% and 51.2% for Fx and Fy.
Fy has greater relatives error this means the force polygon, the distance y at the
close polygon is greater that the distance X closure. The relatives error is caused
by:
a. Practical Error
An error that may occur is when determining whether the system is in balance or
not. It may occur in the delivering load combinations. In the current load on each
hanger given load, many components of the system are held and intentionally
drawn so fast equilibrium. Therefore it affects the equilibrium of the system and
change the system that originally had been set.
Error can occur in setting up the center peg in the middle of the ring, because
some practitioners may have lack in experience therefore the center peg are no
really fix properly
b. Parallax Error
This type of error may occur when our eyes are not parallel to the reading, but in
this case parallax error may occur when we observed the motion of the ring; ring
are expected to be positioned in the middle of the peg without touching it, but
sometimes our eyes are not parallel enough to the reading therefore there may be
some error or mistakes in the calculation and data reading. This is commonly
occurring when reading the angle of the rope that represents forces.
Universitas Indonesia
13
From the calculation above we obtain that the relatives error in this practical are:
5.59% for Ma and 4.9% for Mb. These errors are caused by:
a. Practical Error
Similar to concurrent forces, possible relatives error that occur in this experiment
is that whether or not the experiment has reach its equilibrium state. In this case
errors occur in process of combining variations of loads. In the process of
applying load in order for the system to reach the equilibrium position, the ropes
are intentionally being pulled in order for the rings to quickly reach equilibrium
position. But in fact, this faulty act affects the initial systems that are being set up
at the start of the experiment.
b. Parallax Error
Parallax error may occur in this experiment is when reading the angle form by the
rope that are attached to the load. Another possible error is when practitioners did
not carefully placed the ropes that connect rings vertical enough which is 180o.

THEORY
In this study of equilibrium, there are two cases that need to be considered. First
case is generally happens. What happen in the first case is that the forces work
parallel and does not form a polygon. A table with 3 forces toward the bottom will
be balanced with 3 forces acting up the table. This condition is stated by one
equation that is Pv = 0 and is followed by the use moment equilibrium equation.
Second case happens when two parallel forces with equal magnitude but act in a
structure with opposite direction.

ANALYSIS
Practical Analysis
Result Analysis
The result that is obtained in this experiment is the support reaction that is
symbolized as Va and Vb then with the forces that is attached to the trusses. In
this experiment we obtained that the Va = 1.6689 N; F1 = 1.1 N; F2 = 1.3 N and

Because there are differences between practical result and the analytical result,
therefore there must be some relatives error in this experiment. Relatives error in
the two supports are stated below:
Support Reaction Relatives Error (%)
Va
35.35%
Vb
48.98%
Just like the previous practical, load that are measured had not reach equilibrium
state.
H is not equal to zero; as Ha = 0.6743N and Hb = 0.4659 N; this means that
there is some error happening in the experiment
Error Analysis
Relative error in the trial forces of parallel and perpendicular are equated as
below:

Relatives error are calculated with the equation we obtain that Vas and Vbs
relative error are 35.35% and 48.98% these happens because of this factors:
