Purpose

Demonstrates vector addition of coplanar forces and the conditions for static equilibrium. Students observe how multiple forces acting at a point can balance, reinforcing force resolution and equilibrium conditions. The transparent table projects via document camera so the entire class can see force configurations simultaneously.
