Lab 6 :Centripetal Forcex
Introduction
Per Newton's First Law, objects maintain their motion unless acted upon by an external force.
For circular movement, this external force is termed centripetal force, computable via Newton's
second law. In our lab, we used a rotating setup and spring to measure this force and compared
it with direct spring readings. We also estimated an unidentified weight's mass, validating it
against a digital scale measurement.
Procedure
A. Determining Centripetal Force
Period of Motion
-
Set up the apparatus with the lighter red bob, measure and record its mass using the
balance, hang it from the crowbar, adjust the pointer to align with the center of the bob,
and attach the spring to the bob.
-
Rotate the bob by twirling the center rod to maintain a constant speed, ensuring the bob
swings above the pointer in each revolution. Have one partner rotate the bob while the
other times and record ten complete rotations, switching roles for several trials to
minimize error.
-
Estimate the uncertainty in the radius of rotation by determining the uncertainty in
measuring the clicker’s distance from the vertical rod's center, measuring the width of
the clicker, observing any wobble while rotating the bob, and calculating the overall
uncertainty in radius using the given formula.
-
Determine the period T + δT from your table of times (remembering you timed ten
revolutions), use Equation 3 to calculate the centripetal force F C,I, and calculate the
uncertainty in centripetal force δF C,I considering δT and δr.
Direct Measurement
Connect a string to the outer edge of the bob, align it with the pulley, hang a 50g weight from the
other loop, add slotted masses until the bob is pulled directly over the clicker, calculate the
weight W = mg, and estimate the uncertainty δF C,II for the weight.
B. Unknown Bob Mass
-
Set up the apparatus with the heavier bob without moving the clicker or using the pulley,
and measure the rotational period in a similar manner to Step 2.
-
Determine the period T + δT from your table of times (again, you timed ten revolutions),
use Equation 4 to calculate the unknown mass, m2, and calculate the uncertainty in
centripetal force δm2.
-
Measure and record the actual value of the unknown mass using the scale.

QI: A shaft carries four masses in parallel planes A, B, C and D in this order along its length. The masses at B and C
are 18 kg and 12.5 kg respectively, and each has an eccentricity of 60 mm. The masses at A and D have an
eccentricity of 80 mm. The angle between the masses at B and C is 100° and that between the masses at B and A
is 190°, both being measured in the same direction. The axial distance between the planes A and B is 100 mm and
that between B and C is 200 mm. If the shaft is in complete dynamic balance, determine: 1. The magnitude of the
masses at A and D; 2. the distance between planes A and D ; and 3. the angular position of the mass at D.

Recall that muscle generates force at 30 N/cm?. Two cross sections are taken from the rectus femoris
muscle (bipennate muscle similar to the diagram below). The length and width of the first cross
section is 6 cm and 5 cm respectively with a 35° angle of pennation. The length and width of the
second cross section is 5.6 cm and 3 cm respectively with a 31° angle of pennation. What is the
predicted maximum tendon force (FTendon) of this muscle in Newtons? Answer to the nearest 0.1 N.

You are part of a car accident investigative team, looking into a case where a car drove off a bridge. You are using the lab projectile launcher to simulate the accident and to test your mathematical model (an equation that applies to the situation) before you apply the model to the accident data. We are assuming we can treat the car as a projectile.

There are two experiments for this activity – make sure you include both.
Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force
In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force.
Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment.
Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force.
Record data for five different values of Applied Force.
Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force.
Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line).
Make sure that Applied Force information is used as the x value
Make sure that Acceleration information is used as the y value

As we explained in earlier chapters, the
air resistance to the motion of a vehicle
is something important that engineers
investigate. The drag force acting on a
car is determined experimentally by
placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air
speed inside the tunnel is changed, and
the drag force acting on the car is
measured. For a given car, the experimental
data generally is represented by a
single coefficient that is called drag
coefficient. It is defined by the following
relationship:
F,
where
air resistance for a car that has a listed
C, = drag coefficient (unitless)
measured drag force (N)
drag coefficient of 0.4 and width of 190 cm
and height of 145 cm. Vary the air speed
in the range of 15 m/s

PhysicsQ&A LibraryA child’s toy consists of a m = 31 g monkey suspended from a spring of negligible mass and spring constant k. When the toy monkey is first hung on the spring and the system reaches equilibrium, the spring has stretched a distance of x = 17.6 cm, as shown in the diagram. This toy is so adorable you pull the monkey down an additional d = 7.6 cm from equilibrium and release it from rest, and smile with delight as it bounces playfully up and down. 1. Calculate the speed of the monkey, ve, in meters per second, as it passes through equilibrium. 2. Derive an expression for the total mechanical energy of the system as the monkey reaches the top of the motion, Etop, in terms of m, x, d, k, the maximum height above the bottom of the motion, hmax, and the variables available in the palette. 3. Calculate the maximum displacement, h, in centimeters, above the equilibrium position, that the monkey reaches.
