Force Sensor Balance Stand Model No. CI-6460 Introduction The Force Sensor Balance Stand is designed to allow the use of a PASCO Force Sensor as a balance. The sensor is mounted on a bracket and the circular balance pan is screwed directly into the Force Sensor in place of the hook. When used with DataStudio, both weight and mass can be determined with a Force Sensor and a stand. Both ScienceWorkshop and PASPORT Force Sensors can be used with the Force Sensor Balance Stand.
Model No. CI-6460 Force Sensor Balance Stand Setup Options a) Mounting a Force Sensor The Force Sensor Balance Stand can be used with three different PASCO force sensors (See Figures 2a-2c below.
Force Sensor Balance Stand Model No. CI-6460 Hold the bracket against the side hole in the Force Sensor Stand. Insert a screw into the back of the Acceleration Sensor and mount to the back of the stand. Insert another screw into the bottom of the Acceleration Sensor to hold the sensor in place.
Model No. CI-6460 Force Sensor Balance Stand Experiment 1: Exploring the Buoyancy Force and Archimedes’ Principle Equipment Required: Force Sensors (CI-6537, CI-6746, PS-2104)) Force Sensor Balance Stand (CI-6460) Large Rod Base (ME-8735) Beaker (SE-7287 or 7288) Laboratory Jack (SE-9372 or SE9373 or SE-9374) Computer interface Two Stainless steel rods (ME-8736 or ME-8738 or ME-8741) Multi-Clamp (SE-9442), Density Set (ME-8569) String Procedure: 1.
Force Sensor Balance Stand Model No. CI-6460 b) Force measured by the lower sensor (buoyancy force) c) Weight of the cylinder 12. In DataStudio, click the Start button to begin data collection. 13. Use the lab jack to raise the beaker until the cylinder is fully submerged in the water. 14. To end data collection, click the Stop button in DataStudio. Analysis: 1. What happens to the apparent weight as the cylinder is submerged? Explain. 2.
Model No. CI-6460 Force Sensor Balance Stand Experiment 2: Exploring the Relationship Between the Normal Force and Angle Equipment Required: Force Sensor Balance Stand (CI-6460) Force Sensor (CI-6537, CI-6746, or PS-2104) Acceleration Sensor (CI-6558, or PS-2118 or PS-2119) Dynamics Track (ME-6958) or flat board Computer interface DataStudio software 500 g mass (SE-8759) Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the normal force and the track angle. Procedure: 1.
Force Sensor Balance Stand Model No. CI-6460 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.
Model No. CI-6460 Force Sensor Balance Stand Appendix A: DataStudio Setup Instructions The instructions below outline the recommended experiment setup for PASPORT and ScienceWorkshop sensors. Follow the steps specific for the type of sensor and interface (i.e. PASPORT or ScienceWorkshop). Procedure Steps PART I: Plug the sensors into the interface: PASPORT: a) Plug the Force Sensor(s) and/or Acceleration Sensors into a PASPORT interface. b) Connect the PASPORT interface (i.e. USB Link, PowerLink, etc.
Force Sensor Balance Stand Model No. CI-6460 Appendix B: Creating Equations in DataStudio Step 2: Type in and/or build the equation. (Use the Scientific, Statistical, and Special menus, and the trigonometric functions to build the equation.) Click the Accept button. Step 3: Define the dependent variables. Under “Variables,” use the down arrow to select a variable or constant, etc. and click OK. (Example: For “x” select “Data Measurement.” In the pop-up, select “acceleration, x” and click OK.
