Centripetal Force Lab
Centripetal Force Lab 2-2-03 Amol Malankar Partners: Nai Moua, Mallory Halderman, Ed Ziemak Diagrams: Explanation of Diagram: This diagram shows how the centripetal force experiment was setup. ... Theory: The objective of the experiment was to find the effect of radius, stopper weight, and hanging mass, on centripetal force. ... Data: See Attached Data Sheet Results: First, to acquire values that would help in finding the relationships, the data was used to find centripetal force, period, circumference, and velocity of the various trials. To find the centripetal force, the hanging mass was multiplied by 9. ... Then using known constants and measured values gravity, radius, mass of stopper, hanging mass the centripetal force, period, circumference, and velocity were calculated for each trial.
