The

ScienceWorkshop

Force Platform, used with a

ScienceWorkshop

interface, continuously measures force (up

to 4400 N or 1000 pounds) applied by a person or object. You can use the Force Platform to measure the static
weight of a person standing on it, or the dynamic vertical force involved in moving and jumping. It has the mea-
surement range and strength to accommodate people of all sizes and the sensitivity to measure smaller forces
such as the weight of a ball. Put the platform on the floor or tabletop to measure vertical force, or mount it on a
wall to measure horizontal force. With the optional handle set, you can use the platform to measure both “pull-
ing” and “pushing” force.

® F o r c e P l a t f o r m H o w I t W o r k s 2 H ow I t Wo r k s When an object is placed on the Force Platform, it applies a force normal to the plat-form's surface; this force is the object's weight. Because the Force Platform does not move (much), the force applied by the floor to the platform...

Look at a graph of force versus time to determine your “hang time,” or how much time you spend in the air. Is you hang time related to how high...
