Tesca Three Dimensional Equilibrium Apparatus is used for studying the  equilibrium of five concurrent and non-concurrent forces in a three dimensional system. A rigid box  frame has four swiveling pulleys at the top corners and leveling screws at the legs. Four cords, each  with a load hanger outside the frame, pass over the pulleys and meet inside the frame concurrently or  non-concurrently with an additional cord between two joints. A vertical load with a cord is applied at  one of the joints. Each cord is marked out a 100 mm length. Two mirrors are attached on two  adjacent side walls and transparent plates with transparent graph grids are attached on the other two  side walls. By aligning each marked cord to the mirror, its coordinates in space can be measured.
