hint: assume m1= .25m2

PRE-LAB QUESTIONS 1. In this lab, you will be rotating a mass on one side of a string that is balanced by a second mass on the other end of the string (Figure 5). Apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to mass 1, m,, and mass 2, m2, to solve for the period of mass 1. a. Hint: assumed2 4m2. How is the centripetal force on m, related to the force of gravity on mz? mi = . 25 m2 1010 ISS
