    1. The document describes an experiment to verify the law of triangle of forces and Lami's theorem using a drawing sheet, pulleys, strings, weights and a mirror. 2. Students are instructed to set up the apparatus, add weights to achieve equilibrium, record measurements, draw diagrams, and analytically calculate and compare measured and calculated values. 3. The experiment involves measuring forces and angles with and without equilibrium to verify that the magnitudes of forces follow the relationships defined by the law of triangle of forces and Lami's theorem.

    LAW OF TRIANGLE OF FORCES & LAMIr'S
    THEOREM Subject
    To verify the law of
    Triangle of forces and Lami's theorem. Title
    Law of Triangle of forces states that "If three
    in equilibrium, they can be coplanar forces acting at a point are Learning content
    represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of
    triangle drawn in such a manner that the sides of triangle are parallel to the forces
    taken in order". It can be interpreted that, if two forces
    acting simultaneously on
    a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides ofa
    triangle,
    taken in order, then their resultant may be represented in magnitude and direction
    by the third side of the triangle taken in opposite order.
    Lami's theorem states that "lf three forces acting on a body are in the state of
    equilibrium then the magnitude of each force is proportional to the sine of angle
    between the other two forces". Thus, Lami's theorem is applied when the forces
    are in equilibrium.
