Extra Credit







I converted all of the degrees on the protractor to their respective acceleration.


The formula is:


Tan X=10/Acceleration --> Acceleration=10*/tan *the mass of the weight.


So 90 degrees (straight down) is O m/s^2


80 degrees is 1.8m/s^2 and so on


I wrote the acceleration down on the board. So when the weight moves you can just read the acceleration off of the board.
