Meter Stick Rotation Set – COMING SOON

In the Meter Stick Rotation Set, 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 Set includes 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.

Description

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).

Perform These Experiments

  • Centripetal Force: Vary mass, radius, and angular speed
  • Rotational Inertia of a Thin Rod
  • Rotational Inertia of a Point Mass as a Function of Radius
