to the side of the RMS to provide variable magnetic damping. (For
instructions on using this accessory, see “Equipment Setup” in this
manual).
The Chaos Accessory is a driven damped physical pendulum. Various
types of phase plots can be made as the driving frequency, driving
amplitude, initial conditions, and the amount of damping are varied.
“A” Base Rotational Adapter -
The CI-6690 “A”-base Rotational
Adapter is used to mount the Rotary
Motion Sensor to the “A” base of the
ME-8951 Rotating Platform or the
ME-8960 Gyroscope. The RMS
provides higher resolution than a
Smart Pulley, and precession of the
Gyroscope can be plotted since the RMS keeps track of direction of
rotation. The adapter includes a mounting bracket, a shoulder screw, a
drive belt (o-ring), and a 3-step Pulley. (For instructions on attaching
this accessory, see “Equipment Setup” in this manual).
RMS/Gyroscope Mounting Bracket
The PASCO ME-8963 RMS/
Gyroscope Mounting Bracket
attaches the Rotary Motion Sensor to
the ME-8960 Gyroscope so the angle
of nutation can be detected. (For
instructions on attaching this
accessory, see “Equipment Setup” in this manual).
