Acceleration Due to Gravity | Definition, Formula & Examples

A group of students are going to perform an experiment to determine the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity, g, in the lab using the setup shown. The setup includes a device that gives an angular speed ω0, which can be varied, to a solid sphere with mass M and radius R. The solid sphere rolls to the right in the direction of motion on the top of a horizontal table without slipping and with angular speed ω0. The table has length L and is height H above the ground. After rolling across the ta
