Procedure
Our goal is to gather data that will help us get the angular acceleration.
The way we will accomplish this is by using a complicated pulley system that looks like it can straight out of the 70's. This apparatus is attached to an air pump in order to create little to no friction between the disks.
Before we can start though we had to determine the radius of most of the disks along with some masses.
Once that is collected we had to follow a chart that told us to collect data with different sized disks.
The angular acceleration was gathered using the graphs collected with the LoggerPro and finding its linear fit. The slope of the line is our angular acceleration.
Our angular acceralations in order turned out to be:
1)1.085 rad/s^2
2)1.528 rad/s^2
3)1.973 rad/s^2
4)2.330 rad/s^2
5)5.895 rad/s^2
6)1.069 rad/s^2
