| Title | Universal Gravitation Lab |
| Description | I wrote this lab for my first-year physics students to be done early in a unit on torque, universal gravity, and centripetal force. The investigation should not take more than 30 minutes, but the calculations in the conclusion questions should take at least that long. I present it as repeating Cavendish's investigation. |
