Found the user manual for the rotary motion sensor we used in the chaotic pendulum lab. Turns out it's only accurate to one degree.
We needed accuracy up to ~0.05 degrees, lol. Explains why our anharmonic damped motion graphs (no magnets) looked like step functions =_=
Wrote it all in LaTeX, so I get a whopping 50 extra credit points on this lab (basically half of a lab), which makes up for it being a week late.
I also have another report due tomorrow on determining the g-factor of several molecules using NMR. I haven't even thought about starting it yet. Took the data for it two days ago.
Also, today I was officially made Treasurer for the Physics club (SPS) next year.
