Force Sensor Balance Stand

Model No. CI-6460

10

®

7. Create a graph with the normal force on the vertical axis and angle on the horizontal axis.

8. Click the Start button to begin data collection.

9. Slowly raise the track end from one end to change the angle.

10. When the angle is about 20 degrees, click the Stop button to end the data collection.

Analysis and Conclusions

1. What is the relationship between the normal force and the track angle?

2. Draw a force diagram of the mass when the angle was 0, 10, and 15 degrees.

3. For each of the three force diagrams, calculate value of the normal force.

4. What will the value of the normal force be when the angle is 90 degrees? Explain.
