Aluminum Meter Sticks (6-pack) • ME-7032
These aluminum meter sticks are rigid and straight. Because they are hollow, the aluminum meter stick has about the same mass as a wooden meter stick.
It can be used to demonstrate Lenz's Law by dropping a neodymium magnet through the hollow stick. The magnetic drag will cause the magnet to drop very slowly; much slower than a coin drops.
What's Included
6x Aluminum Meter Sticks

Experiments:
Exploring Physical Pendulums: Students use a meter stick as a physical pendulum and explore the factors that affect the period and the mathematical properties of the physical pendulum period equation.
Exploring a Rotating System: Students construct an experimental system composed of a horizontal meter stick mounted at its center on a pivot that is rotating from the torque produced by the tension in a thread attached to a falling mass. The angular velocity...
Gravitational Torque: Students set up various systems to learn about gravitational torque and center of mass. They find mass of an object, determine the mass of a meter stick, predict the location of a mass to balance an off-center meter stick, and...
Exploring Torque:Students explore the concepts associated with torque and balance using the meter stick torque set. They develop the mathematical relationship between the force vector and the position vector by making predictions and testing them.
