EXPERIMENT NO:-3
Aim:-
To verify the law of Lami's theorem
Theory:-
Lami's theorem states that “If three coplanar concurrent forces acting on a body are in equilibrium,
then each force is directly proportional to the sine of angle between the other two forces”.
Apparatus:-
Board with pulleys,Stepped weights hanger, Strings, Weights ,Universal Force Table.
Procedure:
1. Place the Universal Force Table on firm platform.
2. Make the circular disc in horizontal position with the help of boots screws.
3. Clamp the three detachable pulleys to the circular disc at three different positions.
4. Hang three hangers to these ends of strings passing over the pulleys.
5. Put slotted weights to each hanger so as to make pivot and ring concentric with each other.
6. Note the sum of slotted weights in each hanger and weight of hanger as three forces F1, F2,F3.
7. Measure the angles included between the two adjacent pulleys and note them as θ1, θ2, θ3 as per
figure no.(2)
8. Record these observations in table.
9.Repeat step (7) by changing one or two pulleys position and take two sets of observation
Observation Table:
Result:
The ratios obtained are:
1. F1/sinθ1=
2. F2/sinθ2=
3. F3/sinθ3=
Conclusion: The ratios obtained for each readi ng are…………. (same / nearly same/not same)
