JUPCFA

The Centripetal Force Apparatus consists of a motor connected via a length of nylon line to a wooden bead. Upon connection to a power supply, the motor moves the bead in an orbit of uniform circular motion.

This apparatus may thus be used to demonstrate and investigate the properties of circular motion.
