Equipment Locations
| Equipment | Location |
|---|---|
| 4-kg lead cube | Set 9, Cabinet 1, Shelf 1 (labeled box) |
| Spring | |
| Mounted styrofoam ball apparatus | |
| Cenco lamp, mounted on low cart | Set 5, Cabinet 2, Shelf 5 |
| White Board | Near Room 5 |
| Tall Ring Stand | Near Room 5 |
Set-up Instructions:
1. Mount Cenco lamp on a ring stand and place on a low cart (lower than the level of the lecture bench) so that it can project light onto the cube and ball.
2. Align so that cube and ball project a shadow onto a piece of whiteboard placed onto the chalkboard in the lecture hall.
3. Using tall ring stand, mount the spring and lead cube. Adjust height so that the equilibrium position is aligned with the center of the styrofoam ball apparatus.
4. Test alignment by turning on lamp to project shadow onto whiteboard. Set both in motion and check to see that the full range of motion is visible on the white board.
5. Adjust whiteboard location, oscillator location, and/or lamp angle to correct any errors in step 4.
6. Once adjusted, plug both lamp and styrofoam ball apparatus into the same power strip so that 1 switch will turn both on and off at the same time.
