Foucault pendulum
Turntable and ball.
Black slate globe and small pendulum.
Foucault on OHP.
For next Tuesday I'd like to do the standard Coriolis force demos,
and maybe the rotating fluid if it is ready by then. (I wonder if
you'd get better results with a larger diameter cylinder, to increase
the Coriolis force?)
Coriolis demos or Tuesday:
Foucault Pendulum
Rotating platter w hole, ramp and ball.
Rotate a Large Globe with a swinging simple pendulum.
Foucault demo on OHP.
The Rotating Fluid will be after spring break.
