1D40.35A Two Spheres Center of Mass Rating:

Captions and Credits to the left in the sidebar.

Description: Two spheres, one is one inch in diameter and the other is three inches in diameter, are connected by a rod. There are two holes in the rod. Once at the geometric center and the other at the center of mass.

Type: demo Date Added:3/15/2006 Condition:
Quantity:1 Complete: Last updated: 6/7/2006
Purpose:
Safety Issues: Disclaimer (Warning - work in progress - may be incomplete)
Equipment Issues:
Parts:
Large Black sphere is 3 in diameter and 182 g.
Small wood sphere is 1" diameter and 5 g
Rod is 43 g and 52 cm long
Center-of-mass is 6 cm to black sphere and 48 cm to small sphere.
Copyright © 2000 Instructions:
Put the handle at the geometric center of mass and start the large sphere at the top. It has a variable speed motion speeding up as it goes down and slows as it goes up.
Put the handle in the center-of-mass hole and spin the two sphere system. The motion has a constant velocity.
