(Imagine that the Force Wheel disk is
transparent
so that you can see the String Tie.) Hold the Force Wheel as
shown and push the clear plastic tabs inward with your forefingers until the String Tie pops out of the Force
Wheel.
Balance Arm Assembly
The Balance Arm Assembly consists of a Beam, a Pivot, and three Protractors that can be mounted on the beam.
Each protractor has a transparent Angle Indicator. The pivot has a bubble level for leveling the beam.
Adjust the beam by loosening the thumbscrew on the top of the pivot and sliding the beam one way or the other.
Move the protractors by loosening the thumbscrew at the center of the protractor and sliding the protractor along
the beam. Note that not all experiments need three protractors.
Reading the Scale
Read the position of the protractor relative to the midpoint through the two rectangular windows on the protractor.
The bottom window shows the position to the nearest centimeter, and the top window shows the position to the
millimeter. The top window has a small indicator line on its bottom edge. The bottom window in the example
shows the position as between 50 mm and 60 mm and the top window shows it at 55 mm.
