Force Table
Product Code : LSK-PL-10377
Force Table (SKU LSK-PL-10377) is a circular vector-addition table on which three or four forces, set by hanging masses over pulleys, are balanced so their resultant can be studied. It suits Class 11 physics, B.Sc. mechanics and first-year engineering mechanics labs. Production of the table takes place in the Science Lab Supplies factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, from where it is quoted to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Top, scale, pulleys, masses and stand of the 40 cm Force Table each have their own row below. In short, a durable polymer top with a 0.5° angle scale sits on a 3 cm column and heavy cast base with levelling screws, 41 cm high, and comes with four clamp pulleys, four slotted mass sets, cords and a spirit level.

Applications and Experiments for the Force Table
The force table shows that forces add as vectors: when the ring at the centre stays still, the forces are in equilibrium, and any one of them equals the resultant of the others reversed. It suits the vectors topic of Class 11 physics and equilibrium practicals in college mechanics labs.
- Class 11 physics: verifying the parallelogram and triangle laws of vector addition, and comparing the result with the board method on the Parallelogram Force Apparatus.
- Three-force and four-force equilibrium, finding an unknown force by balancing.
- B.Sc. and engineering mechanics labs: equilibrium of concurrent forces.
- Wider force topics for lower classes with the 13-experiment ME2 Mechanical Box, Forces.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Force Table comes with four table-clamp pulleys, four sets of slotted masses of 150 g x 5 g including hangers, cords with split rings for quick connection, and a spirit level for setting the top level. The table, column and cast base form the main unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with the Force Table?
Four table-clamp pulleys, four sets of slotted masses (each 150 g x 5 g including hanger), cords with split rings, and a spirit level are supplied with the table.
How precise is the angle scale?
The scale is divided into 0.5° steps and numbered every 10° in both directions. Each pulley has a circular cut-out with a fiducial mark, so its angle is read accurately against the scale.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Force tables of this design are fabricated at the Science Lab Supplies works in Saha, Ambala, India; being the manufacturer, the company quotes and dispatches each order from the factory itself.
Why do the slotted masses have a keyhole pattern?
The keyhole shape secures each slotted mass on its hanger, so masses stay in place while pulleys and angles are adjusted during three-force and four-force arrangements.
