Demonstration:

Start by setting the metronome at 56 beats per minute. Place the ball at the top of the inclined plane. When released, at each beat of the metronome the ball should pass through points 1, 4, 9, and 16(ie. the basket) that are marked on the side of the track. Practice! The metronome time may need adjusting so that the ball hits those marks.
