Objective

To demonstrate the effect radius has on linear velocity on components with identical angular velocity. ​

StatusAvailable
Assembly Instructions

​Attach ruler and lightbulb circuit to the rotating stand. Connect banana cables to the stand and power variac. Connect variac to wall source.  Make sure there is clearance on all sides of the spinning meter stick.
