Determining g on an Incline During the early part of the seventeenth century‚ Galileo experimentally examined the concept of acceleration. One of his goals was to learn more about freely falling objects. Unfortunately‚ his timing devices were not precise enough to allow him to study free fall directly. Therefore‚ he decided to limit the acceleration by using fluids‚ inclined planes‚ and pendulums. In this lab exercise‚ you will see how the acceleration of a rolling ball or cart depends on the ramp
