United Scientific™ Spring Scale Centripetal Force Apparatus

Description

• The Spring Scale Centripetal Force Apparatus is a simple device that allows students to investigate the relationship in circular motion between the radius, the velocity of the moving object, and the external force required to maintain the motion
• When students hold the white handle and carefully spin the rubber stopper overhead, it places tension on the string
• The tension created is centripetal force on the string that pulls on the spring scale
• The faster the student spins the mass, more force is exerted on the spring
• The spring scale has a numbered scale, so students can directly see a numerical indication of the centripetal force
• Easy to adjust string length up to 24 in
• Easy to read 5N spring scale Includes Activity Guide
