Physics 2215 Laboratory Equipment List    
Lab 8: Angular Motion

 

Equipment List:

  1. Pasco Rotational Dynamics Apparatus: (in box) (B3.2, B4.2)
    • Two steel disks
    • Small part box
      • Small pulley
      • Large pulley
      • Bubble level
      • String
      • Masses (5 g, and 10 g)
    • 5 gram mass hanger
  2. Rotational Motion Table with small metric ruler (B5.1, B5.2, B5.3)
  3. Stop watch (D5.3)
  4. Vernier calipers (A2.6)
  5. Air supply regulator (one per each table) (B4.1)

General class use:

  1. Electronic balance for (2000 gram capacity, one per room) (TA)

Notes and tests:

  1. There two different versions of the equipment for the this lab.
    The wooden based version should be placed in one room and the black metal based version should be placed in the other.
  2. Check that the air pressure will float the disks.
  3. Check that the counter reads the rotation of the disks.
  4. Level each table with the bubble level using the leveling feet on the bottom of each apparatus.
  5. Check for missing valve pins.
