The Chills and Thrills of Roller Coaster Hills

Post by deleted-364219 »

Hello! I am doing the chills and thrills of roller coaster hills experiment. I was wondering what size rubber stopper you would recommend for the 2"by 18" tube. I think that the #10 tube on the website that's on the materials part of the experiment page.
Thanks!

Hi JUBLiA,

You're working on this project, correct?

The rubber stopper needs to wide enough to completely block the end of the plastic tube. It looks like a #10 stopper would probably work.
All the best,
