  • Projectile Motion Physics 110 Laboratory
    Projectile Motion Physics 110 Laboratory Introduction In this lab, we will study the motion of small steel balls fired from a spring-powered projectile launcher. You will use two different methods to find the initial velocity of the balls leaving the launcher, and use that velocity, together with the equations governing projectile motion, to predict the range of a projectile fired at an arbitrary angle. As a test of your prediction, you will be asked to use the prediction to place a target on the floor at the spot where the ball will land. Along the way, you will also investigate some new techniques of error analysis, and the differences between systematic and random errors. Apparatus The apparatus for this lab consists of a spring-powered projectile launcher which will fire a small steel ball. • Never look into the muzzle of the launcher when a ball is in the chamber. • Do not exceed the \medium" launch setting. • Please do not compress the spring with the rod without a ball loaded into the chamber, as this can damage the launcher. The launcher accepts a 25 mm diameter steel ball. Place the ball into the launcher and push down using the provided ramrod. Looking through the side of the launcher, you can see a yellow indicator aligning with several levels. At each level, the lever will lock the spring into place. Pulling on this lever will fire the ball. The launcher is fitted with a plumb bob hanging from a string. This allows you to accurately set the launch angle of the ball, between 0 and 90 degrees (with 90◦ being straight up and 0 being directly to the right).

  • Measuring - Calipers, Barometers and Thermometers
    MEASURING - CALIPERS, BAROMETERS AND THERMOMETERS DIGITAL BREAST BRIDGE The Digital Breast Bridge aids in setting up tangential breast treatment fields. After the borders of the tangential fields are determined place the digital breast bridge to these skin marks. The digital readout will give the angles needed for the gantry. The field separation is determined by the scale on the rails. The acrylic plates are 20 cm wide x 15 cm high and have 1 cm inscribed markings. Separations can be measured from 13 cm to 31 cm. Weight: 3.2 lbs Item # Description 270-001 Digital Breast Bridge BREAST BRIDGE The Breast Bridge aids in setting up portals for tangential breast P treatment. After the area to be treated has been marked, the bridge is placed on the patient’s chest and adjusted to the skin markings, thus, determining the separation of the fields. The angulation of the portals is determined from the ball protractor. The acrylic plates are 20 cm wide x 15 cm high and have 1 cm inscribed markings. Separations can be measured from 15 cm to 35 cm. The ball protractor provides angulation readings from 15O to 80O. Item # Description 270-000 Breast Bridge BREAST BRIDGE COMPRESSOR The Breast Bridge Compressor is used to compress the breast, particularly when it is desired to increase the dose to the residual mass at the end of a course of treatment. The aluminum mesh and frame are coated with a smooth blue vinyl plastic for minimum skin dose. Specifications Treatment Area Size: 10 cm H x 15 cm W Compression Distance: 1 cm to 13 cm Item # Description 272-100 Breast Bridge Compressor MAMMO CALIPER WITH DIGITAL LEVEL The Mammo Caliper is a rugged and accurate caliper designed to provide measurements for breast simulation or as general purpose caliper.

  • Parts of Theodolite and Their Functions Pdf
    Parts of theodolite and their functions pdf Continue The components and their the TheodoliteA compass functions measure direction by measuring the angle between the line and the direction of the reference, which is a magnetic meridian. The compass can measure angles up to 30 accuracy and judgment to 15. The principle of the compass is based on the property of the magnetic needle, which at free suspension takes the direction of north-south. Thus, compass measurements affect external magnetic influences, and therefore in some areas the compass is unsuitable. In this here we will discuss another method of measuring the direction of lines; theodolit is very often used to measure angles in the survey work. There are various theodolites, optical, electronic, etc. improvements (from one form to another) have been made to ensure simplicity of work, better accuracy and speed. Electronic theodolites display and store corners at the touch of a button. This data can also be transferred to the computer for further processing. We begin our discussion with the simplest theodolite-faithful theodolite. Theodolit is a simple and inexpensive tool, but very valuable in terms of measuring angles. The common vernier theodolite measures angles up to an accuracy of 20 in the compass, where the line of sight is simple, limiting its range, theodolites are provided by telescopes that provide a much greater range and better ac-curacy in sighting distant objects. It is, however, a delicate tool and should be treated with caution. Theodolit measures horizontal angles between lines and can also measure vertical angles. The horizontal angle measured can be turned on by angle, angle of deviation or outer angle in the traverse.
