unit. The motion detector measures the distance from the detector to an object in front of it, and the CBL records the data. After collecting the data, the CBL unit sends the data to the calculator, which displays a graph of the distance recorded with respect to time. In this lab, we will establishthe relationship between the period and the length of a pendulum. For a detailed description, go to http://college.hmco.com/PIC/crauder4e.
