Lab 9 Report
Static Equilibrium
Objective
The objectives of this lab are to:
●
To determine the unknown masses to a lever
●
To compute the sum of the forces and torques acting on a system
Materials
●
Fishing string (souji)
●
Wooden Chopsticks
●
20 Pennies
●
Clear Scotch Tape
●
Ruler
●
Wooden Back Scratcher (rod)
●
2 Wooden Stools (rod rested on)
●
Mystery Item (Wooden Clothes Pin)
Theory
Explain the theory of the lab.
In this lab, torque and static equilibrium are the main forces that were used. Torque is the rational force
and is used in which the component of the force is perpendicular to the distance. When the object is not
moving and completely balanced it is in static equilibrium. Static equilibrium was found in the different
levers using the different pennyweights and varying distances from the penny center to the fulcrum
using that as the rotation point. Using the different weights the rod would be unbalanced causing the
penny stack to move closer to the fulcrum (Class 2 Lever) until the rod balanced evenly and the torques
balanced out (Class 1 Lever).
Method
Type a short paragraph describing what you did in the lab. Emphasize why you did the lab the way you
did, not a blow-by-blow procedure. Include at least one diagram or picture of the setup.
In this lab, we reused the chopstick attached to a string from the last lab. We taped two pennies to one
side of the chopstick. On the other side, we taped 3, 4, 5, and 6 pennies while changing the distance of
the pennies to the center of the rod. We made sure it was balanced by making the chopstick straight and
using static equilibrium. Then, we calculated the weight of the pennies and measured the distance
between the middle of the pennies and the string. Using this, we were able to find the torque of both
sides. We repeated the same steps and slid the pennies back and forth across the chopstick until static
equilibrium was reached with the different penny weights. We also repeated the same procedure for our
mystery items. After the experiment, we noticed that if it is balanced then the torques would be similar
to each other.

Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one
formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant,
and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide
and spring types. Set up your spreadsheet as shown below. You can fill in the
"Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your

motion along the curve expressed in feet (a = 50 ft and b = −0.0025 ft-¹). How long will it be until the bicycle slips if the maximum acceleration it can sustain without slip is

Which these statements are true
i) The frictional force on a sliding body on a plane is always directed at the angle normal to the inclination of the plane.
ii) The Dynamic equilibrium is a condition of a moving body with constant velocity.
iii) Deformation of a rigid body is possible especially when the applied force is very large.
iv) Kinematics deals with the geometry of motion without reference to the forces causing the motion.
v) D’Alembert’s principle is used to model a equilibrium problem into an non equilibrium one.
vi) When the helix angle of a square thread used in a screw jack is more than the angle of repose, the load overhauls.
vii) The line of action of Equilibrant and Resultant forces of a system of forces are coincident.
viii) The coefficient of static friction is more than that of dynamic friction.
ix) Three forces in equilibrium are always concurrent.
x) The direction of the moment vector is in the plane containing the force and radius vectors.

Pressurized eyes Our eyes need a certain amount of internal pressure in order to work properly, with the normal range being between 10 and 20 mm of mercury. The pressure is determined by a balance between the fluid entering and leaving the eye. If the pressure is above the normal level, damage may occur to the optic nerve where it leaves the eye, leading to a loss of the visual field termed glaucoma. Measurement of the pressure within the eye can be done by several different noninvasive types of instruments, all of which measure the slight deformation of the eyeball when a force is put on it. Some methods use a physical probe that makes contact with the front of the eye, applies a known force, and measures the deformation. One non-contact method uses a calibrated “puff” of air that is blown against the eye. The stagnation pressure resulting from the air blowing against the eyeball causes a slight deformation, the magnitude of which is correlated with the pressure within the eyeball.…
