Product Specification
The Adjustable Inclined Plane Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a robust mechanics apparatus designed for investigating the behaviour of objects and forces on an inclined surface. Its adjustable construction allows the slope of the plane to be changed systematically for comparative experiments.
The MT-10574 features a metal inclined plane approximately 60 cm long. Metal construction provides a rigid experimental surface suitable for repeated laboratory use.
A built-in angle scale enables the inclination of the plane to be measured directly. The apparatus can be adjusted through an angular range of approximately 0° to 45°, allowing experiments to be performed at different slopes.
A built-in length scale is also incorporated along the plane, providing a convenient reference for measuring position or travel distance during suitable motion investigations.
The apparatus includes an adjustable pulley that can be positioned as required for experimental setups. A cord can pass over the pulley to connect an object on the inclined plane to the supplied weight pan.
By adding suitable masses to the weight pan, the force required to balance or move an object along the inclined plane can be investigated. This arrangement supports experiments involving equilibrium, friction, force components and mechanical advantage.
A roller is also included, allowing experiments involving rolling motion and comparison with sliding behaviour.
For a body of mass m on a plane inclined at angle θ, the gravitational force component parallel to the plane is:
F = mg sin θ
and the normal reaction is:
N = mg cos θ
These relationships allow the apparatus to be used for practical verification and analysis of forces acting on objects placed on inclined surfaces.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Adjustable Inclined Plane Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories, engineering laboratories, research facilities and other applications involving friction, force and motion investigations.
