Description:

An off-shoot of the classic spinning bucket with water in it. Rather than putting water in the bucket, a wireless force probe is used to measure the normal force provided by the bottom of the bucket while the bucket undergoes vertical circular motion. Data shown was collected by Dr. Parthasarathy during a PHYS 251 lecture.
