Experiment # 05 To Verify Link Polygon Method For Various Coplanar Forces

The experiment aimed to verify the law of polygon for finding coplanar forces through a graphical method. The procedure involved constructing a pentagon on a sheet attached to a board using points and a mirror, drawing parallel sides to scale, and measuring the sides to determine tensions in the strings. The results from the graphical method were not perfectly accurate due to errors in the approximation technique.

EXPERIMENT # 05

To verify link polygon method for


various Coplanar Forces
Objectives:
• To find forces in link polygon by graphical method.
• To check validity of law of polygon.

Theoretical Background:-

Law of polygon:

It states that “if there are some coplanar forces acting at a


point & also system is in equilibrium, then by taking suitable
scale, we can draw polygon & so find the resultant forces.
This is graphical method for finding the forces in polygon by
constructing it according to the suitable scale.

Procedure:

Take a sheet & attach it to the board. Now draw points


with the help of mirror. Make polygon by joining these
points. Draw parallel sides of the pentagon by suitable
scale. Find the tension in the string by measuring
sides with the scale & converting them back into
forces.

Result and conclusion:

The results which are obtained from this experiment


are not purely accurate because many errors &
omissions are there in this graphically method.
Graphical method is an approximate method.
