Model No. CI-6460 Introduction The Force Sensor Balance Stand is designed to allow the use of a PASCO Force Sensor as a balance. The sensor is mounted on a bracket and the circular balance pan is screwed directly into the Force Sensor in place of the hook. When used with DataStudio, both weight and mass can be determined with a Force Sensor and a stand.
Model No. CI-6460 Force Sensor Balance Stand Setup Options a) Mounting a Force Sensor The Force Sensor Balance Stand can be used with three different PASCO force sensors (See Figures 2a-2c below.) Figure 2c: Setup with Figure 2b: Setup with a...
