摘要:
A new suspension/release mechanism for a free‐fall experiment is described. Its design makes it possible to measure time intervals to ±10 μs in free‐fall‐from‐rest experiments. With an overall accuracy of ±0.022%, the different accelerations (in air) of various falling bodies can be determined. Agreement with theory is shown to be very good for the case of spheres. Questions concerning the appropriate drag coefficients applicable are discussed.
