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
