1D50.?? Mass Fling

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the effects of central forces

DESCRIPTION: Equal masses are set at increasing radii from the center of a large plexiglass disk. The disk is spun on a Queen Rotator. As the angular velocity increases, the masses will be "flung" off the disk one by one.

SETUP TIME: Minimal

COMPONENT LIST:

    


  1. Plexiglass Disk with Queen Rotator Mate	Rotation Demo Area


  2.  Queen Rotator				Rotation Demo Area
