Inclined Plane Experiment Kit

Inclined Plane Experiment Kit is designed to show the correlation between the inclination of a plane and the required force for a body on top of that plane to stay still. Apart from the inclination angle, the smoothness of the contacting surface between the body and the plane also affects that required force –

This kit consists of a plane with variably measurable inclination angle due to a protractor that is integrated to the system.

-This plane can be inclined up to 60o.

-The body that was mentioned in this kit is a friction block with four different sides that have different smoothness. -The force that is required to make to body staying still is measured by using 3 N spring balance that is connected to nylon string, a pulley system, and the body itself.

Consist of the Following:

1 set Inclined Plane with Protractor Equipped with a protractor and tilt regulator. At the end of the track there is a pulley with a diameter of 2 cm. Inclined plane board size: 550 x 190 x 30 mm. Material: Wood.

1 pc Sliding Block I : (Coated Wood and Sandpaper laminated) : Sliding block with one face covered with sandpaper and equipped with a hook at one end.

1 pc Sliding Block II (Melamine and Glass) : Sliding block with one face covered with melamine, one face covered with glass, and have a hook at one end.

1 pc Plastic Tube with Load 120 g : Plastic tube containing granules of lead bullets. Weight: 120 g

1 pc Nylon Thread : 10 m nylon thread reel.

1 pc Balance Pan : Weight compartment that can be attached to the pulley system. 1 pc Dynamometer 3.0 N : Used to measure force. The scale printed on a transparent tube. Scale : 0 – 3 N x 0.1 N Equipped with hangers on the top and hooks at the bottom for the pull load.
