Description:
Greek Waiter's Tray
Specification:
Greek Waiter's Tray -The waiters in Greek cafes are famous for their dexterity as they swing
heavily loaded trays between tables with nary a spill. This sturdy
device illustrates the principle in a way that will amaze your class.
Place a clear container of colored water on the platform of the tray and
start swinging from side to side. With practice, you should be able to
swing in wide circles and even upside down. The container stays put
because the net force acting on it is always directed radially, toward
the center. This pins the container to the tray along with its contents.
Our durable wood tray doubles as a laboratory support stand and can be
clamped vertically or horizontally. It includes an attached pendulum and
instructions. If you add magnets to the base (not included), you can
also use the pendulum to demonstrate chaotic motion.
