Description:
Center of Gravity Paradox
Specification:
Center of Gravity Paradox -Things are not always what they seem. Our angular momentum apparatus is
weighted at one end. Try to balance the one meter rod with the heavier
end down; intuition tells most people this should work. In actuality,
the opposite is true - turn the rod over and balance it easily on a mere
fingertip. This is a hands-on way to introduce the concepts of the
center of gravity, angular acceleration and moment of inertia. Mass is
movable. Instructions include theory.
