Today in Physics we did the Static Equilibrium Lab & Static Equilibrium Post Lab.

First, In the Static Equilibrium Lab we found our results by hanging a meter stick horizontally with two scales hung from the meter stick. From the scales we have a ruler horizontally hung. Next we test the results of a 5 gram weight at different positions on the ruler.

In the Static Equilibrium Post Lab we are going to find out what happens to Burl's weight read by the scales as he walks across the ruler. To do this lab, use the model and the Static Equilibrium Lab. Go through and read the graphs to understand what they mean. After you're done reading the graphs, answer the questions.



Handouts: The Static Equilibrium Post Lab
