Centripetal force Lab report Period Period and frequency Physics

Click For Summary

To analyze centripetal force in a lab report, replace the force variable F with y and the term 1/T² with x in the equation, resulting in the format y = something * x. The slope of this linear relationship represents a key parameter of the centripetal force. The units of the slope need to be determined based on the variables involved. Understanding these transformations is crucial for accurately interpreting the results of the experiment. Properly defining the slope and its units will enhance the clarity of the lab report.

Homework Statement: I am writing up a lab report on Centripetal force. One thing I have to do is graph Force vs 1/(Period squared). What would be the unit of the slope of this graph?

Relevant Equations: The force is in Newtons and the Period is in seconds.

Take the equation that you are plotting.
Replace ##F## with ##y##,
Replace ##\dfrac{1}{T^2}## with ##x##.
It should now look like ##y=\text{something}*x##. The slope is something. What are its units?

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
