ME 80: Rotational Acceleration


NOTE: Carbon dioxide cylinder spins the apparatus. Emphasizes that torque does not always come from two obvious forces, but, still, torque = (Force) * (Radius). For advanced classes, discuss the reaction force at the pivot, and the three main contributions to moment of inertia.


Equipment: in cabinet 11, shelf B. C02 from Hobby-town (Sweethome at Sheridan)
