FORCE TABLE

FORCE TABLE

◘  Force Table is precision-machined has a Ø 400mm extra thick machined aluminum tabletop with a laser engraved rim and graduations for accurate and easy-to-read measurements.
◘  Its rim has a scale graduated in 360°, and mounted on a vertical support rod with leveling screws.
◘  Specially designed with a ring in the center of the force table, fastened by cords passing over four pulleys, to add extra stability and reduce annoying wobble.
◘  Set includes:
–  4x Pulleys,
–  4x Weight hangers of 100g each,
–  16x additional Weights: (4x each of 10g - 20g - 50g - 100g).
◘  Weights are made of steel and chrome plated.
◘  The pulley clamps are specially designed to conform to the curve of the circular table so your pulleys won’t wobble.
◘  Low inertia pulleys with miniature bearings of negligible friction, and a central fiducial mark ensure parallax-free angle readings.
◘  The sturdy support rod and heavy tripod base with leveling screws give stable support.
◘  The heavy centre pin fits snugly into the tabletop for easy assembly.
◘  A great piece of apparatus to use with Vernier or Pasco probe-ware (force sensors sold separately), make this a quick quantitative demonstration or lab activity.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...In physics, a force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, unless counterbalanced by other forces, or its shape. In mechanics, force makes ideas like 'pushing' or 'pulling' mathematically precise. Because the magnitude and direction of a force are both important, force is a vector quantity (force vector). The SI unit of force is the newton (N), and force is often represented by the symbol F.

Force plays an important role in classical mechanics. The concept of force is central to all three of Newton's laws of motion. Types of forces often encountered in classical mechanics include elastic, frictional, contact or "normal" forces, and gravitational. The rotational version of force is torque, which produces changes in the rotational speed of an object. In an extended body, each part applies forces on the adjacent parts; the distribution of such forces through the body is the internal mechanical stress. In the case of multiple forces, if the net force on an extended body is zero the body is in equilibrium....)
