This Force Table is a standard physics laboratory apparatus used to demonstrate the principles of vector addition, resolution of forces, and equilibrium of concurrent forces acting in one plane. It helps students clearly understand how multiple forces combine and balance at a common point.

The apparatus features a 40 cm diameter machined aluminium circular table with a 360° graduated scale for accurate angular measurement. It is mounted on a sturdy vertical support fitted with levelling screws to ensure proper horizontal alignment during experiments. A central ring is connected with cords passing over four self-clamping, low-friction pulleys, allowing smooth and accurate application of forces in different directions.

Supplied complete with four pulleys, nine 50 g weights, and one 50 g mass hanger, the Force Table is ideal for vector analysis and equilibrium experiments in schools, colleges, universities, and educational physics laboratories.
