Comparison of measured forces with a triangle of forces and theoretical values
Comprehension of the action of the crane cable forces on the jib and the effect of the jib inclination
Description
Although
wall jib cranes are obsolete, the self evident confluence of the four
forces at the end of the jib illustrates the application of a triangle
of forces so clearly to a real situation that this is an invaluable
lesson.
This wall mounted self-contained jib crane has spring
balances built into its two members. After loading the member lengths
can be adjusted to their no-load lengths. The jib out-hang and the crane
cable inclination can be readily changed. An instruction sheet is
provided.
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.
