Photovoltaic measurement of early gravicurvature
1Botany Department, The Queen's University of Belfast, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Abstract:
An easily constructed photovoltaic method of growth measurement capable of detecting movement occurring a a speed of 1.7 hum min-1 and avoiding physical interference with plant material is described. The application of this method to the measurement of early gravicurvature of nodal segments of Lolium multiforum and peduncle lengths of Taraxacum officinale is outlined and some measurements of lag times together with speeds of early gravicurvature obtained for these gravitropic systems are presented. Other applications of this photovoltaic method are suggested.

Measuring Acceleration Due to Gravity
A simple pendulum can be described as a point mass and a string. Meanwhile, a physical pendulum is any object whose oscillations are similar to a simple pendulum, but cannot be modeled as a point mass on a string because its mass is distributed over a larger area. The behavior of a physical pendulum can be modeled using the principles of...
Gravimetry: Overview
In precipitation gravimetry, the analyte is converted into a precipitate and weighed. For example, the silver content in a sample can be estimated by precipitating and...
