A cart is attached by a string that is draped over a pulley to a hanging mass.  The acceleration is found from a velocity vs. time graph to be compared with the acceleration that can be found using dynamics.

This is the Lab 7 Tier 2 Set-Up “D” of four set-ups. Each setup has a different combination of hanging mass and angle of incline.
