Teaching Standards:
This module introduces the force sensitive resistor (FSR) which can be used to develop a force probe. Using the force probe, students can record data on different physical phenomena that occur everyday. Additionally, they can graph the applied force to see kinetic friction, static friction, and work.
The presentation material and the code can be downloaded at Force Measurement.
The University of Wyoming has earned its Research Level 1 (R1) status from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, placing Wyoming's only four-year university with the top research universities in the United States.
