Components of the Meter Stick Rotation Set
Description
Product Summary
These are the basic components of the Meter Stick Rotation Set (ME-7074). To use these components, you need a Half-Meter Stick, a Pivot, and a rod stand.
The Mass Holders are designed to use the cylindrical masses from Mass and Hanger Set (ME-8979).
In the Meter Stick Rotation Set (ME-7074), a Half-Meter Stick rotates about any point desired. The Wireless Force Sensor can attached to the rotating meter stick to directly measure the centripetal force on a mass attached to the Force Sensor with a string.
The Meter Stick Rotation Components include two mass holders that can slide freely on the meter stick or be fixed in place. The rotational inertia of the apparatus can be determined by accelerating the apparatus by a mass hanging over a pulley with a photogate.
Built-in Features
- The Meter Stick Holder mounts on either a Pivot (ME-7034) or a Rotary Motion Sensor.
- The Meter Stick Holder has a post for mounting the Wireless Force Sensor.
- A screw on the Mass Holder for attaching a string makes it easy to change the radius in a centripetal force experiment.
- The Mass Holder, installed upside-down, has fins for attaching the Wireless 3-Axis Acceleration/Altimeter (PS-3223).
What’s Included
- 1x Meter Stick Holder with Force Sensor Post
- 2x Mass Holder
