Description
This
equipment provides a simple easy to understand experiment on the
equilibrium of moments. Several loads can be put on the beam at various
positions. These will make the beam rotate. The student has to determine
the moment necessary to overcome this rotation and keep the beam level.
On a practical level, this principle is used in the measurement of
goods, such as in chemical balances and steelyards.
The alloy
beam is 530mm long and graduated in each direction from the central
pivot in cm. Three wire stirrups, weight hangers and a set of weights
are included.
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.
