Introduction
The Quanser QNET Physics and Dynamics for NI ELVIS II, pictured in Figure 1.1, is a versatile physics and dynamics
system designed to teach and demonstrate the basic physical and dynamical principles in a variety of ways. The
system is comprised of a catapult with adjustable release angle equipped with an rotational encoder as well as a
sliding mass arm with an adjustable incline. The sliding mass experiments are carried out with a multi-surfaced sliding
mass that is connected with a wire over a pulley equipped with an encoder to manually adjustable counterweights.
Furthermore, the sliding mass arm can be used for pulley experiment as well as a oscillation experiment.
