Usage
1. Place the Vertical Acceleration Demonstrator on a level table, with
the launch arm of the demonstrator beyond the edge of the table as
shown. Be sure that the floor is also level.
2. Pull the launch arm back against the pull of the spring until the
launch arm catches on the trigger.
3. Mount a steel ball on each end of the launch arm in the small hole at
each end of the arm.
• The steel balls are stored in the ball storage compartment. Rotate the
cover to remove the balls.
4. Press the Trigger Knob down. One ball will drop straight down and
the other will be projected horizontally.
5. Listen for the click of the balls as they strike the floor. If the appara-
tus and the floor are both level, the two balls will strike the floor
simultaneously.
