Moment Of Force Apparatus
Moment Of Force Apparatus
Product code: PP00050877
Product Description
This apparatus demonstrates the relationship between moment of force, the amount of force and the length of the lever arm.
By simply adjusting weights fitted on a meter stick lever to establish equilibrium, students will observe the law of torque for various centres of rotation, compare clockwise and counter-clockwise torques, measure various lever arms, and calculate torque.
Equipment consists of a meter stick, three knife edge clamps and an aluminium support.
- Supplied with 100g & 200g hooked weight.
- Key Stage 3 Physics: Motion and Forces: Moment as the turning effect of a force. Using force arrows in diagrams, adding forces in 1 dimension, balanced and unbalanced forces.
- Key Stage 4 Physics: Motion and Forces: Recognise forces that cause rotation. Define the moment of such forces and calculate their values. explain how levers and gears transmit the effects of linear and rotational forces. Explain the concept of equilibrium and identify, for equilibrium situations, the forces which balance one another
