Replacement set of three mass hangers and one meter stick clamp for doing meter stick torque experiments.
- 1x Meter Stick Clamp
- 3x Mass Hangers
Product Summary
Replacement set of three mass hangers and one meter stick clamp for doing meter stick torque.
The meter stick clamp fits onto either a Pivot (ME-7034) or a Rotary Motion Sensor. It has two mounting points: One is centered on the center of the meter stick for rotation and pendulum experiments and the other is offset so the center of mass of the meter stick is below the pivot point for stability in meter stick torque experiments. There is a built-in bubble level to make it obvious when the meter stick is level.
The mass hangers have a mass of 10 grams each, which makes it easy to add to the hanging mass. The mass hangers have a degree scale so the angle of the applied force can be read. The mass hangers can be used in two ways:
- As a mass hanger in a meter stick torque experiment with the masses hanging from it
- Upside-down, as an anchor point for a suspension string at any angle in a statics experiment.
What's Included
- 1x Meter Stick Clamp
- 3x Mass Hangers
Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Meter Stick Torque Mass Hanger Set.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Exploring Torque
Students explore the concepts associated with torque and balance using the Meter Stick Torque Set. They develop the mathematical relationship between the force vector and the position vector by making predictions and testing them.
Analyzing a Static Beam
Students take measurements of various arrangements of a static beam and use them to make predictions about the forces on the beam. A force sensor is used to check their predictions.
Exploring Physical Pendulums
Students use a meter stick as a physical pendulum to explore the factors that affect the period and the mathematical properties of the physical pendulum period equation.
Exploring a Rotating System
Students construct and collect data with an experimental system to determine angular velocity, angular acceleration, applied torque, and the rotational inertia of the meter stick component.
Gravitational Torque
Students set up various systems to learn about gravitational torque and center of mass. They find the mass of an object, determine the mass of a meter stick, predict the location of a mass to balance an off-center meter stick,...
