Introduction

The ME-8952 Centripetal Force Accessory is comprised

of two vertical posts which can be mounted to the

Rotating Platform with thumbscrews. These posts are

adjustable and can be positioned virtually anywhere along

the length of the platform. The radius indicator is at the

center of the apparatus so it can be clearly seen while the

apparatus is rotating. The PASCO Centripetal Force

Accessory can be used to experiment with centripetal

force and conservation of angular momentum. For the

centripetal force experiments it is possible to vary the

mass and radius to see the resulting change in the centrip-

etal force. The force can also be held constant while other

quantities are varied. The Centripetal Force Accessory is

manually or read by a computer. Variable hanging masses

are included. This accessory requires the Rotating

Platform (ME-8951) to operate.

See the Complete Rotational Manual for experiment

guide.
