Description
The
600mm stainless steel plane can be locked in any angular position
between ±45°, indicated on a semi-circular protractor scale. Four slider
trays are supplied having nylon, brass, aluminium and brake lining
material bases. Each tray in turn is attached to a weight hanger and
weights are added until the tray just begins to slide. The experiment
may also be used as an exercise in equilibrium of forces, determining
the force required to move the tray along the plane giving the
coefficient of friction.
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.
