We can also understand the circular parameter in the engineering design with some of the designs we see in our everyday life. Apparatus: What we will use in this experiment is a turntable, clock to measure time, inelastic string, scale to read the magnitude of the tension in the string, and a linear scale to determine the distance of the metal roller from the center. Theory: The forces associated with circular motion affect the object in motion with forces such as centripetal and centrifugal forces. Different designs can contribute to what type of circular motion one is aiming for, either down forcing or increasing the force on the object. Data: The way we gathered data is by creating a graph with the number of trails, the radius (cm), the force, and the time period in seconds. We then made the data into a graph where it showed the force vs radius, we then found the slope of the graph and used the physical model formula and the linear model formula. Discussion: By measuring the data and using the formulas for both the physical and linear model and comparing both we could see that the slope was the same for both. We can then take T=2 as our time period and see how the forces acted on the experiment. Conclusion: Overall, we can see that the forces acted upon the circular motion affected the time period as well as the distance or radius of the object. We can also conclude that when it is placed at a different force it can also affect the circular motion.
