F4-23: WATER PENDULUM
Additional Info
- ID Code: F4-23
- Purpose: Show the surface of a container of water in a swinging pendulum.
- Description: A container with water is suspended as a pendulum. When the container is held to one side, the water moves to its lowest point and the surface remains horizontal. When it is released and swings as a pendulum, the water spreads out uniformly on the bottom of the container and stays at rest at all times.
- Availability: Available
- References: REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown.)
- Loc codes: F4, F1, FS1
