Physics 103 Setup Instructions:
Torque & Equilibrium
Lab Directions
BlackBoard Notes

Basic Idea:

Students will learn how to calculate torque.

Number of setups:

Equipment Needed (each setup):

What: How Many: Where:

Pasco torque lever arms 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf E4

Large bench clamp 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf C4

Right angle clamp 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf B3

Rod (50 cm x 13 mm) 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf A3

Force table mass set 2 Majors storeroom, shelf W3

Additional masses 2 g – two
1 g – one non-Majors storeroom, shelf D3
The following is shared:

Double-masses attached to long rod 1 Lecture-Demo room (Jeff will get this)

Computers Needed?

Notes:

Lab Setup (see this page for photo details):
Contents of each mass set:
- (1) 50-g mass hanger
- (9) 20-g masses
- (1) 10-g mass
- (2) 5-g masses
