DISCRIPTION:

  • A hanging mass and a counter-balance are attached to a horizontal bar mounted a top a vertical shaft about 45cm high, and the vertical shaft ties the suspended mass with a horizontal spring.
  • By knowing the mass, the speed of rotation and the radius, the centripetal force can be calculated.
  • A photogate sensor is used for measuring rotation time during experiment.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:              

  • Photo Gate and Timer
