Centripetal Force Lab

For this lab, you were supposed to compare Fc i.e. mstopper x omega squared x r with mwasher x g since Fc is supposed to be provided by Ft, which should equal Mwasher g.

If you had large discrepancies tape binding on the plastic tube, touching the string, and letting the washers swing so that they also had an ac, are all likely culprits. You might try redoing it for an improved grade.
