Lesson Topic
mechanical equilibrium
Lesson Outline
Define specific terms: equilibrium, force, net force, tension, vector
Use examples to demonstrate how the combination of all forces acting on an object will result in a vectored net force. Demonstrate using a kg mass with 2 spring balances to arrive at a zero net force. Demonstrate how the stretching of a spring in a spring balance translates into a "stretching force" which is tension. Draw and explain the use of force vectors to demonstrate a vector quantity with magnitude and direction. Differentiate between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity.
