Protractor For Measuring Angle Of Inclination Of Plane For Acceleration And Friction Experiments

PROTRACTOR FOR MEASURING ANGLE OF INCLINATION OF PLANE

FOR ACCELERATION AND FRICTION EXPERIMENTS.

To use:

For these calculations we need to know the angle between the

1. Print out onto overhead film or card stock and cut out with

direction gravity acts and the oblique surface. By using the

scissors along dotted lines..

SIN and COS values for this angle we can calculate the

2. Punch or poke out holes C and D

components of the forces acting on the object due to gravity.

3. Pin to side edge of ramp using tack, nail, or push-pin.

4. For better stability, hang additional mass from hole B using

paperclip or string as a 'plumb-bob'

Pin to side of ramp through hole C using tack

or push-pin

Hang weight from hole B using

string or paper clip
