Re: statics lab

How about running a string through two pulleys spaced a bit apart so the
string is horizontal, and loaded on the ends. Then place a weight in
the center of the vertical section and ask how the sag depends on the
amount of weight.

cheers,

I have a more mundane question than the philosophical debates about which I have been reading lately.

Can someone recommend a nice 3 dimensional statics lab I can do with my AP physics students? Something along the lines of a mass hung from some ring stands with spring scales and projecting into two planes...

Thanks
