5±L Lab 5 ±ssignment When finished adding your responses on each slide, save this as a P±° file and upload it to your radescope assignment.
Slide 1: ±VsRr^iQV the equipment required to perform the experiment so that someone unfamiliar would be able to recreate the experiment in a different place and at a later time. ²or this experiment, a bar, spring, weights, and a protractor will be needed. ²irst, select the farthest hole from the elbow on the bar for the hand mass mounting position. Record the mass and hang at the end of the bar, without any additional weights. ±djust the bar to make it horizontal and record the angle with the protractor, as well as the shorter length from the actual bend to the rest of the bar. Record the spring readings for the force. Repeat measurements for 3 more masses at different intervals. Then repeat all of these steps using a hole on the bar for a different r. Then, use a google spreadsheet to use the recorded data to calculate the forces that each mass has on the “arm” based on mass and hole/position used.
Slide 2: <]how (for the largest value of r ) a plot of the bicep force ( ° ² ) vs. hand-weight ( W ° = m ° g). Use markers not connected by lines, label the coordinates, and show correct units. ³nclude a best-fit line to your measured ° ² vs. W ° data. ±lso show on the plot as a solid line the theoretical expectation for the force, from your calculations in the Pre-Lab. ²IlRulItV the % difference between the slope of your best-fit line to your measured ° ² vs. W ° data and the slope of your theoretical line. |measured-theoretical|/(measured-theoretical)^2) *100 |36.3-41.5|/(36.3-41.5)^2) *100 = 19.2%

Slide 3: Repeat the analysis of Slide 2 for the smaller value of r . |measured-theoretical|/(measured-theoretical)^2) *100 |54.9-61.5|/(54.9-61.5)^2) *100 = 15.2%
Slide 4: Write a thoughtful conclusion here. °ow well did your measurements agree with the theoretical expectations from balancing the torques? What affected the accuracy of your measurements? °ow could you improve the experiment? °ow does this experiment connect to other real-world experiences? Our measurements do mostly agree with the theoretical expectations with both trials being less than 20% different between the measured and theoretical force. °uman error with measuring the angle, and likely not making the bar perfectly horizontal affected the accuracy of our measurements. To improve this experiment, we could use a leveling tool to get the bar perfectly horizontal, and use a computer system to measure the angle more accurately. We also could have done more trials to decrease the margin of error. This experiment relates to other real world experiences by helping us understand the forces required to turn different door handles, opening a bottle, or turning a steering wheel. This experiment also helps us understand the everyday forces that work on our biceps when we do practically any sort of movement. This lab helps us understand that approaching tasks from different angles affects the force required for these tasks.
