DESCRIPTION The Centripetal Acceleration lab consists of using a pendulum bob swinging continuously. This will help see the F_max(tension) and F_(mean )(weight of the pendulum)‚ net force (N) and v_mean(velocity). RESULTS When starting the lab the first thing to do is to measure the cylinder properties (the bob) in table one. The measurements were: diameter (D) is .0815m‚ height (H) is .025 m‚ mass is .06591 kg‚ and the 〖Weight〗_theory W is .645918 Mg‚N. Second thing to do is to launch from
