Directions Tap the Add Coin button to add coins to the bag. Be Careful! Adding too many coins can cause the rope tension to exceed its breaking strength. Stop before that happens and collect your coins.
Drats! You broke the rope. No gold for you. You can repeat the level to earn the star.
No, Stay Here

Version 2.1
Go For The Gold!
Start
Add the maximum number of gold coins to a bag without breaking the rope(s) from which the bag is suspended. Progress from level to level and earn Stars and Gold Coins for each successfully completed level.
Repeat Level
Tap a level to begin. You can earn coins for successfully completing a level on your first attempt. Repeated attempts at a level will earn a star but not earn coins.
Level 5
Congratulations! You are a Wizard!
In this activity, you will use PHYSICS to predict the maximum number of coins that can be placed into a bag without breaking the rope(s) from which the bag is suspended. If successful, a star will appear next to the button and your net worth will be re-calculated.

In this activity you will have to use the gravitational field constant (g) to perform calculations. The value of g is 9.8 N/kg. However, some Physics classes will round g to 10 N/kg in order to shorten the calculating time and complexity with only minimal sacrifices to accuracy. This activity is designed to use either value of g … so it’s your choice. Which value of g do you wish to use?
g = 10 N/kg
g = 9.8 N/kg

Congratulations! You have successfully completed this activity.
But don’t despair. You can do this! You may need to … 1. Use our Tutorial pages or Videos. 2. Refer to class notes or handouts. 3. Go slower. Read more carefully. 4. Change your thinking about this concept. 5. Take a break and try again later.
No Thanks. I’ve Had Enough For Now.

Double Drats! Some instructors set up a penalty for missing. If you miss too many questions and appear to be randomly guessing, your game will end. That’s what has happened to you. Your results have been saved but you would have to start over from ground zero.
