Experiment 204: Torque: Second Condition of Equilibrium
Abstract
Torque measures the amount of force it takes to rotate an object. The second condition of equilibrium
states that the sum of all torques of a body in equilibrium is zero. One should be able to analyze these
concepts and understand its significance in order to apply them in solving for the weight of pans in a
system, the weight of a beam, and the forces needed for the system to be in equilibrium.
The first part was determining the weight The weights of the pan influences the

The goals of this experiment have come. One
could analyze the system in harmony by
