Philip Harris Foundation Physics - Pulleys

Foundation Physics - Pulleys

Please Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is also required but is not included and will need to be purchased separately using the code PP00054183

• The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum. The Universal Stand is required for each add-on.

The Foundation Physics Pulleys Apparatus is a versatile hands-on tool that can be used to demonstrate many principles of physics.

This pulley system allows students to measure the mechanical advantage and efficiency of different pulley systems and observe that the direction of the input force does not affect the output force.

Students will also measure and calculate the conservation of energy as it applies to a single pulley and multiple pulleys, and determine mechanical advantage for various pulley configurations.

The Pulley Apparatus includes:

• 1 x Pulley System with mounting hardware (1 x small L-Shaped block with 3 pulleys, 1 x large rectangular block with 3 pulleys)
• 1 x Cord / String
• Instructions
• Teachers Guide
• Students Guide

Additional apparatus required:

• Foundation Physics Universal Stand (PP00054183)
• Hanging Masses (PP00058216)
• Newton Meter: 10N (B8A40423)
• 2 x Metre Rulers (B8A73830)
