Creating a Levitating Mobile: Balancing Bottles with Precision

In our lab, we embarked on an exciting project to design a mobile featuring at least three levels of levitating bottles. Utilizing materials such as empty bottles, wooden rods, and strings, we explored the crucial principle of balance. Our experiments revealed the importance of weight distribution, as our initial attempts led to imbalance and bottle failures. This hands-on experience illustrated how nature relies on balance and stability to function, enhancing our understanding of physics in everyday life.

  1. Levitating Bottles Create by: The Amazing Dan Smith The Marvelous Will Gilbertson The Dangerous DashmeetSahi The Sleepy SidharthBedi

  2. Purpose • The purpose of our lab was to build a moblie with at least 3 levels and make it balance

  3. Materials • 2 empty Poland Spring Bottles • 2 empty Swiss premium Bottles • 1 small Sunny D Bottle • 1 All Sport Bottle • 4 Wooden Rods • 10 pecies of about 6-10 inch sting • 1 coat hanger

  4. Sketch/Blueprint

  5. Data

  6. Uncertainty • Weight (in grams) uncertainty .005g/40.55g x 100 0.0123% Distance (in cm) uncertainty 0.01cm/25.7cm x 100 0.0389 % Weakest link is distance 20.70g(2cm)= 40.46g (x cm) X=1.02 cm +- 0.0389% 1.02 cm +-0.000398 cm

  7. Analysis/Conclusion • During the duration of this lab we learned that proper balance of objects is key to nature, because without balance, things would fall apart. This happened when our first mobile was not balanced, and the bottles began to spin, putting strain on the strings holding up the bottle, and then the bottles fell.
