Dropping paperclips on a coffee can.
- Read about an interesting error analysis.
- Does the string stretch too much?
- develop the theory using equations of motion for free fall
- derive the n squared rule. The initial height of the nth paperclip is proportional to n squared.
- This lab allows us to measure g
