Requested demos for Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026

Time PAI 2.48 PAI 4.42
8 AM
PHY 303K — PAI 2.48 — 08:00 AM
E. Florin
1J40.20 • Static Torque: Meter Stick Balance
1K10.20 • Dynamic Torque: Ladder Against the Wall
1K10.30 • Dynamic Torque: Walking the Spool
Notes: Concerning the walking spool. We had a smaller spool with a simple aluminum axle (stick). That's what I need to demonstrate angular dynamics.

6A20.50 • Reflection From Curved Surfaces: Concave and Convex Mirrors
Do you all have two hula hoops (3 would be good) that I can borrow? I'd like some type of circular loops to demonstrate flux of electric and magnetic fields in space.
