             The apparatus used in this lab is a circular table with degree marks around the edge. There are three pulleys attached to the table. Weight hangers are attached to a central ring with string and run over the pulleys. The central ring is centered around a central pin.

             With this lab we were able to estimate the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector. We then used vector addition to find the magnitude and direction and compared the findings. Our estimates and calculations were very close. The experiment helped us to better understand vectors and their properties.
             We used trigonometric equations to find the x and y components of the given vectors.
             y-component=magnitude·sinè
             x-component=magnitude·cosè
             We then used vector addition to find the x and y components of the resultant vector. With the x and y components we used the equation
             magnitude²=(x-component)²+(y-component)²
             to find the magnitude of the vector and the equation
