Experiment M-4 2 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effects of various forces and torques acting upon a rigid body in equilibrium. Procedure 1. Set up the Truss Boom making sure to weigh the boom and locate its center of gravity. 2. Set up the crane. 3. Record the load force L in gwt. 4. Take the zero reading of the boom and release/pull down weights when the lab required. Then, read the force S meas from the balance and make any required zero corrections before recording it. 5. Calculate the vertical and horizontal components V and H of the force F acting upon the boom at O. 6. Find the magnitude and angles of force F. 7. Calculate the percent difference between calculated results and measured results.
