•The end of the rod can be attached to the Rotary Motion Sensor
rotating shaft to use it as a pendulum.
Using the Disk and Ring
For rotational inertia
experiments, wrap
around string attached to
a mass around the 3-step
pulley included with the
Rotary Motion Sensor.
Hang the mass over the
clamp-on Super Pulley
to accelerate the
apparatus. Perform a
conservation of angular
momentum experiment
by dropping a ring onto
the rotating disk.
