Physics 103 Lab - Setup Instructions: Torque & Equilibrium

Physics 103 Set Up 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 slotted mass set 2 non-Majors storeroom, shelf D3

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)

Red & Blue inertia rods 1 each Lecture-Demo room (Jeff will get these)
