Addition of Torques
Objective:
To ascertain equilibrium of the meter stick. Doing so by finding missing variables consisting of torque, length, weight and mass. Record all results and compare to calculated results.
Procedure:
(Lab part A)
• A fiberglass meter stick is to be used. Suspend this meter stick using string.
• Hang 100 gram weight from the meter stick with a string a the 10 cm point on the meter stick.
• Move the loop that suspends the meter stick left or right horizontally until the meter stick balances. (with the 100 g weight still attached at the 10 cm point)
Procedure:
(Lab part B)
• Place a string at 65 cm to support the meter stick.
• Find the torque produced by the off centered string support by hanging weights on the shorter end of the meter stick to make it balance.
• Take found torque and calculate mass to be placed at the 15 cm mark in order to balance the meter stick.
• Hang weights to meter stick at the 15 cm location until the meter stick acquires equilibrium to prove your calculations.
Procedure:
(Lab part C)
• Suspend a meter stick with string placed at the 65 cm point.
• Hang 100 grams of weight at the 45 cm mark, and 500 grams at the 90 cm mark on the meter stick.
• Hang 200 grams of weight between 0 – 45 cm mark and move this weight until equilibrium is achieved. Record this measurement.
Data Part A:
Mass of weight (m-2) = 100 grams
Position string balanced = 36.4 cm
Distance from center of meter stick to balance point. (L-1) = 13.6 cm
Distance from balance point to suspended weight. (L-2) = 26.4 cm
Mass of meter stick. (at center gravity) m1 = m2 (L1/ L2)
Therefore: m1 = 100 (26.4/13.6) m1 = 100(1.94111)
m1 = 194.1176 grams (mass of the meter stick)
Data Part B:
Found natural torque (off set support string) = t = fl
85 grams placed at 100 cm balanced the off set support string at 65 cm.
Therefore: t = 85 * (100 – 65) t = 2975
Total torque of right side of support string:
t = 90cm – 65cm (500 g)
t = 12,500
Then we calculated the left side torque:
t = 65cm – 40cm (100g)
t = 2500
Then we took the right torque and subtracted the left torque:
9525 – 2500 = 7025 (this is the missing force on the left side)
Missing torque 7025 = 50cm ( ? )
7025/50 = 140.5grams
Calculate weight to be placed at 15cm. = 140.5 grams
Data Part C:

... while weighing the reactants would try and avoid letting the reagents get in contact with apparatus that may not be necessary so as to avoid loss of some the substance and this way the exact mass would be achieved.

We’d note down the weight. Then we’d get our solutions ready. We were only given a 100% solution and a 0% solution, so we had to mix them in the right ratio to get all the solutions we needed. We decided to do 5 different types of solutions so we would have a wide range of results and it would be more accurate. We’d use 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0% solutions in our experiment.
The file labeled “Newton’s 2nd Law” is to be opened. The cart’s mass along with the attachment of the sensor and the accelerometer are to be measured and recorded. Being carefully verified in order, the track is leveled and the Force Sensor is set to 10N and connected to...
In experiment 5, we are learning about density and specific gravity in measurements. Density is measured by mass divided by volume in order to get the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is the density of a substance divided by the density of water and will cancel out the units in order to get a unitless measurement. Mass and Volume can be measured in two different ways, first mass can be calculated by directly placing it on the triple beam scale directly, or by weighing the difference. Volume can be calculated by displacement in the graduated cylinder or by calculating its dimensions. In this experiment, the objectives were to calculate the density of a solid by measuring its mass and volume,
