Experimental Study of Gravitational Field Strength with A Rotary Motion Sensor Mechanics Laboratory
Abstract
This experiment aims to determine the value of g using the torque of a rotating system. Data was collected using a Vernier Rotary Motion sensor and Vernier Graphical Analysis software. Analysis of the data was carried out by linearising the relationship between angular acceleration and the distance between two rotating identical masses, and the value of g was determined.
