Optional Accessories
Mini-Rotational
Accessory - The PASCO
CI-6691 Mini-Rotational
Accessory is used to
perform rotational inertia
experiments, conservation
of angular momentum
experiments, and pendulum
experiments. Included are
an aluminum disk, a steel
ring, a long thin rod, and two brass masses which can be attached at
any point on the thin rod to act as point masses. (For instructions on
attaching this accessory, see “Equipment Setup” in this manual).
Linear Motion Accessory - The
PASCO CI-6688 Linear Motion
Accessory is a 21 cm long rack that is
inserted into the t-slot in the side of
the RMS to convert a linear motion
into a rotary motion. The teeth on the
rack engage a gear inside the RMS,
causing it to rotate as the rack is
pushed through the slot. The rack may
be inserted into either side of the
RMS. Sensors can be mounted to the
rack using the rod clamp which can be attached to either end of the
Linear Motion Accessory rack. (For instructions on using this
accessory, see “Equipment Setup” in this manual).
Chaos Accessory - The PASCO CI-
6689 Chaos Accessory consists of an
aluminum disk (identical to the one
provided with the Mini-Rotational
Accessory), a mass which attaches to
the edge of the disk to form a physical
pendulum, two springs for putting
tension in the thread, a mounting
bracket for mounting the RMS to the
PASCO Introductory Dynamics
System tracks (1.2 meter ME-9435A
or 2.2 meter ME-9458), and an adjustable-gap magnet which attaches
