Inclined wood plane 600 x 75 mm with pulley at one end, the other being hinged to wood base. A linear scale is fixed to edge of inclined plane and an angular 0-45° scale is fixed to base, with a clamp which also serves as an index. With a metal roller 60 x 25 mm length x diam., 2 wooden blocks and a scale pan with cord.
Features
This apparatus is used to demonstrate the resolution of forces on an inclined plane, uniform and accelerated motions, and kinetic and potential energies. It can also be used to study the friction between two surfaces. The inclined plane is a simple machine that consists of a flat, rigid surface tilted at an angle. It is used as an aid for raising or lowering a load, as it requires less force to move an object over a greater distance.
