Horizontal Force Table Apparatus

The Horizontal Force Table Apparatus is a classic physics lab tool used to demonstrate vector addition, resolution, and static equilibrium of coplanar forces. It features a circular table (typically 25–40 cm) with a \(360^{\circ }\) scale, pulleys, and weights to determine the equilibrium point where three or more forces balance.
