Product Description
INCLINED PLANE, SIMPLE AND FRICTION BOARD
Inclined wood plane, 600 x 75 mm, hinged to base at one end carries a pulley at the other. A movable block enables variation of inclination of plane, a friction slide of size 100 x 65 mm which is reversible and has one side cut away for half of its area. Complete with metal roller 75 x 25 mm dia, with pan but without masses.
Explore Variable Friction and AngleThis apparatus lets users adjust the plane's angle from 0 to 45 degrees and swap between smooth and rough surfaces. These features provide a practical platform for studying how angle and surface type affect friction, motion, and mechanical advantage in real time, reinforcing physics concepts through interactive learning.
Sturdy and Reliable ConstructionConstructed from wood and steel, this board boasts a robust, polished finish and an anti-slip base for enhanced safety during demonstrations. The brass pulley ensures smooth, low-resistance motion, and the board's rectangular shape accommodates a wide variety of experimental setups in laboratory environments.
Designed for Educational ExcellenceTailored for secondary and higher education labs, this friction board comes equipped with all essential accessories required for classic experiments. Its clear scale graduations, adjustable control, and manual operation make it ideal for exploring fundamental principles of mechanics, helping students visualize and quantify physical phenomena.
