Experiment 7: Static Equilibrium of a rigid body Student name: Graham Herkenrath Pre-lab section: 1) Introduction: Explain the theory behind this experiment in a paragraph between 150 and 250 words. (3 Points) This experiment is about confirming that the conditions for static equilibrium are met by finding the necessary data points to calculate torque and by finding force. Once these data points are found we will be able to determine if the rigid body is in static equilibrium by using the two conditional formulas: sum of all forces = 0 and sum of all torque about any rotating axis = 0. If these two formulas are found to be true by using the data collected to determine force and torque than the rigid body will be in static equilibrium. The reason for this is because torque measures how often a body beings or changes rotational motion. Torque is a vector quantity and is calculated using the formula: torque = r x F, r is a position vector at which the force F acts upon a point P. The torques direction can be found using the right-hand rule and because it is determined by the cross product of both the position vector r and the force F it is perpendicular to both r and F. 2) Hypothesis: In an If /Then statement, highlight the purpose of the experiment. If the data collected determines that sum of all torque = 0 and the sum of all forces = 0 then the rigid body must be in static equilibrium. Post-lab section:
