The older models of this bracket had a center slit that was closed with a v-notch at the top. The Pulley Bracket has been redesigned with a longer slit that is open at the top to allow the pulley to be positioned lower. This allows a string attached to the force sensor hook on a Go Direct Cart and draped over the pulley to be parallel with the track. This provides the best alignment between the cart and the pulley in a half-Atwood experiment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"\/til\/4131\/\">Go Direct Sensor Cart Troubleshooting and FAQs<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you own a Vernier Cart and Track system and wish to update to use the and you will need to purchase the in addition&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86433,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/86433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13142\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vernier.com\/til\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
