The Airplane Experiment.
Larson, Lee; Grant, Roderick
Physics Teacher, v29 n9 p564-65 Dec 1991
Presents an experiment to investigate centripetal force and acceleration that utilizes an airplane suspended on a string from a spring balance. Investigates the possibility that lift on the wings of the airplane accounts for the differences between calculated tension and measured tension on the string. (MDH)
