I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background The forces that are involve with the experiments are basically focused on the concurrent forces. The experiment also allows us to develop the condition of balancing or arranging the angles both sides on a force table. This laboratory experiment allows us to take the mathematical abstraction of a vector to make it tangible as possible. This experiment will look into two ways of finding the resultant of two or more vectors and this includes the graphical method and the component method. The concurrent forces are all the vectors in the system of coincide at a certain single point.

B. Objectives
To regulate by means of the vector diagram of the resultant of several concurrent forces. This will also be check by the accuracy of the result on a force table. Also to become familiar with the vectors and their components. This experiment aims the use of the force table to experimentally of this experiment is to use the force table to experimentally determine the force which balances two other forces. This result is checked by adding the two forces by using their components and by graphically adding the forces.

C. Theory
The measurable of quantities may be classified as either of scalar quantities and the vector quantities. The scalar quantity has the magnitude while the vector has both magnitude and the direction. It also finds the resultant of adding two vectors by three methods by experimentally determine the components, and graphically. In all of the cases we all know that the force is caused by the
