Description
The
apparatus consists of a wall mounted fixed pulley with a loaded belt.
Four different pulleys are supplied with different vee groove angles;
flat rim, 120°, 90°, and 60°.
A load is added to one of two
hangers until the rope just begins to slide. This is the datum
condition. Loads are now added to both sides of the rope to cause very
slow sliding of the rope. This enables the coefficient of friction to be
obtained.
The angle of lap can be easily varied.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.
