Description
This
apparatus is used to verify that centrifugal force varies with the
square of the speed, the rotating mass, and the radius of gyration. A
unique feature is that all three variables can be set and the
centrifugal force directly read from the spring balance. Six masses are
supplied. The unit has a built-in variable speed drive and digital
tachometer.
The equipment is fully guarded (not shown in the photograph).
This
equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and
experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been
given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without
unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus
is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
