Figure 10.1: Placing the rings

Lay the 2-meter stick on the floor in a straight line away from the Launcher.

Measure off each set of x and y and place a ring clamp on a stand at each position (See
Figure 10.1). If possible it is best to adjust the last two ring stands at an angle from the
vertical so the ball will not have to pass through them at an oblique angle. A cup may be
placed at the end of the path to catch the ball.

Shoot the ball through the rings.

Ask the class what shape of curve is formed by the rings.
