Title: Tension on Hanging Mass


1
Tension on Hanging Mass
  • Begin by hanging one mass on a mass hanger.
    Record the weight (in Newtons) from the scale.
  • Place a second scale on the opposite side of the
    mass. Hold so that both scales are vertical and
    parallel to one another. Record the weight on
    each scale.
  • Gradually increase the angle between the scales.
    Describe what happens to the force measured on
    each scale.
  • Attempt to hold each scale parallel to the floor.
    What happens to the measure of force?
  • Return the scales to a 60 angle relative to the
    floor. Record the force on each scale.
  • Do a theoretical calculation of the force using
    Newtons laws. How does it compare to the
    observed?
