9-30

In third period Physics on September 30, 2008 we began class with the daily question which was; We then were dismissed to our lab tables were we worked in groups to finish the **Static Equilibrium Lab**. In this lab we were to weigh a 5N or 10N mass with a varrying amount of force scales to see how the force balanced out. After finishing the lab we were to complete the **Static Equilibrium Post Lab**. This activity consisted of working in our lab groups to answer several questions about Burl's weight and the weight of the scaffolding he stood on using the graphs provided. When finished with this the group selected one copy of both the lab and post lab to turn in for a grade.
 * Question:** If Burl is NOT on the scaffolding, how much does each force scale read in configuration B?
 * Answer:** The force scales each read half the weight of the scaffolding.
