(a) In this experiment you will be investigating the effect of a force acting at different angles.

Set up two smooth rods or pulleys 20 cm apart and at the same horizontal level at least 30 cm above the bench.

Attach 50 g masses to both ends of a piece of thread so that when the thread is placed over the two smooth rods or pulleys, the masses are clear of the bench. See Fig. 2.1.

Hang a 10g mass, m, from a point halfway between the smooth rods or pulleys, ensuring that the thread moves smoothly over the rods.

Allow the mass to drop freely; do not pull it down. Hold the protractor sheet behind the apparatus and adjust the position of the sheet so that the angle,

θ, as shown in Fig. 2.2, is the same on both sides. Measure angle, θ, and enter the value in column 2 of Table 2.1 on page 6.
