Confecção de uma mesa de forças com o auxílio de uma impressora 3D

Abstract

This monograph aims to complete a laboratory practice project, where the subject addressed belongs to Mechanics. The purpose of the force table is the study of the composition and decomposition of vectors, then the objective of this subject is emphasize the importance of the study of several branches of physics, and understanding it well , will bring benefits to students about the behavior of vector quantities. The Force Table, consists of a circular table with three pulleys, which can reach four, the pul leys can be stablished in different angles to each other, and on each one, small objects with different masses, whi ch can be made of wood or metal , are trapped. Once the pulley´s angle are known , it is possible to predict, or determine, the result ant of vectors through calculations and formulas. Due to the importance of the benefits of learning with the force table, and the limited availability in the market due to its high price, this work contemplates the making the same with easily accessible material s, and the aid of 3d printing, which is increasingly gaining space in various branches of science and industry, and in the home of people who want to make their projects come true. The work was successfully completed and tested . The the materials and measurements of the objects were made available in this work.
