Apparatus for measuring centrifugal force for force sensor
Product Code : SCL-MH-12674
Quick Answer: The Apparatus for Measuring Centrifugal Force for Force Sensor is a circular-motion set in which a mass turns at a chosen radius while a force sensor records the force. Students vary the mass, radius and speed of rotation to see how the force changes.

Key Features
Mass fixed at a selected radius on the rotating section
Mounting for a compatible force sensor
Sensor reads out through a digital interface, data logger or display unit
Used for centrifugal and centripetal force, angular velocity and rotational dynamics
About This Product
With the sensor attached, the class records the force for one mass and radius, then repeats with a new mass, radius or rotation speed to find how each affects the force needed for circular motion. Rotating parts must be secured before starting, and hands, loose clothing and wires kept clear of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can be varied in the centrifugal force experiment?
The mass, the radius at which it is fixed and the speed of rotation; the force sensor reading is recorded for each setting.
