Wheel and Axle Apparatus

Product Description

Desciption of Wheel and Axle Apparatus The dual diameter wheel has an axle supported on simple pivots in a sturdy wall mounting bracket. Each wheel has a cord wrapped around its periphery. The cords can be wrapped in either direction around each wheel. A load hanger is added to each cord allowing loading of the wheels using the calibrated weights set provided. Wheel and Axle Apparatus Using the hangers and weights allows the experimental determination of velocity ratio and comparison with calculated values. Students can also determine the variation of effort with load and the variation of efficiency with load. Experimental Capabilities of Wheel and Axle Apparatus Experimental determination of velocity ratio and comparison with calculated valueDetermination of variation with load of effortDetermination of variation with load of efficiency Specification of Wheel and Axle Apparatus Wall mounted apparatus for investigation of the mechanics of simple wheel and axle machineSupplied with wall mounting bracket, wheel and axle machine, cord pulleys and load hangersWheel diameter#1 = 138mmWheel diameter#2 = 68Set of weightsComprehensive instruction manual provided
