Product details
Funicular Polygon and Forces Apparatus
Specification:
- Effective teaching
- Self-contained, bench mounted
- Direct measurement of forces
- Adjustable lines of action of forces
- Practical verification of triangle of forces, polygon of forces and link polygon
- Demonstrates equilibrium of forces at a point, applied to various points round a disc or acting on a rectangular lamina
- Concurrent & Non-concurrent coplanar forces
Experimental Capabilities:
- To resolve by experiment any suitable system of static coplanar forces which may or may not be concurrent
- To verify graphically using: a) triangle of forces for three concurrent coplanar forces b) polygon of forces for more than three concurrent coplanar forces c) link polygon for three or more non-concurrent coplanar forces
- To investigate (c) for either a disc or a rectangular shape
- To compare the accuracy of the experiment by comparing the experimental and graphical results
