In this experiment the maximum mass we are going to be using …show more content…
Then, we measured the radios and the mass of the platter. In addition, we use the equation for inertia I=(1/2)MR^2. Depending on the result from the previous steps it has to be determined if equations A=(mgr/I) and T=mg are the easier equations to solve the problem. Then we had to predict on graphs (A vs m), (A vs r), (A vs I). (A) being Angular acceleration, (I) inertia, (r) radius, and (m) mass, prediction (Pic1). When setting the platter make sure to use the bubble level in order to get the equipment levelled, this step is really important in order to get accurate results(Pic2). Then, connect the photogate to the LabQuest and start logger pro on the PC. Open the Probes and Sensors folder, then open the photogate folder, finally open the file (Pulley). We attached the fishing
