Moment Experiment

Coplanar forces (weight, spring balance) act on the moments disc on either side of the pivot. In equilibrium, the moments are determined as a function of the magnitude and direction of the forces and of the reference point.
The spring balance is adjusted to zero in the position in which the measurement is to be made in each case. The straight line from the push-in button to the pivot point is adjusted to the horizontal by moving the swivel clamp on the stand rod. The fishing line to weight pan then runs along a row of holes. The spring balance should be mounted in the swivel clamp so that it forms an angle with the fishing line.

Features:

• High precision dynamo meter.
• Strong and heavy base.
• Frictionless movement of disk.
• Understand the relation and the difference between moments and force.
• Smart designed equipment that makes measurements clear and easy.

Objectives:

• To determine Moment as a function of the distance between the origin of the coordinates and the point of action of the force.
• To determine Moment as a function of the angle between the force and the position vector to the point of action of the force.
• To determine Moment as a function of the force.
