... string to the cart. Tie a paper clip to the other end of the string and pass it over a pulley on the end of the table. Hang metal washers on the paper clip until the cart moves at a constant rate. The washers are compensating for friction. Leave them on the paper clip for the entire experiment. ...

... Since the net force is 100 N, the upward force (of the scale) and downward force (of the weight) must equal a 100 N upward force. Fnet = F scale – W 100 N = F scale - (50 kg)(9.8 m/s2) F scale = 600 N Therefore, the scale will read 600 N Note that this is a heavier reading than if the elevator were ...

Seismometer

Seismometers are instruments that measure motion of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth, and locate and measure the size of these different sources.The word derives from the Greek σεισμός, seismós, a shaking or quake, from the verb σείω, seíō, to shake; and μέτρον, métron, measure and was coined by David Milne-Home in 1841, to describe an instrument designed by Scottish physicist James David Forbes.Seismograph is another Greek term from seismós and γράφω, gráphō, to draw. It is often used to mean seismometer, though it is more applicable to the older instruments in which the measuring and recording of ground motion were combined than to modern systems, in which these functions are separated.Both types provide a continuous record of ground motion; this distinguishes them from seismoscopes, which merely indicate that motion has occurred, perhaps with some simple measure of how large it was.The concerning technical discipline is called seismometry, a branch of seismology.
