Four cords with rings at one end are supplied; masses are not included.
Product Specification
The Force Table from Micro Technologies is designed for practical investigations involving the composition, resolution and equilibrium of concurrent forces. It provides a convenient laboratory arrangement for studying vector addition and understanding how multiple forces acting at a common point combine to produce a resultant.
The apparatus incorporates a machined aluminium circular table approximately 40 cm in diameter. Its circular configuration provides a suitable working surface for arranging forces at different angular positions around a central point.
The table carries a 360° graduated scale, allowing the direction of each applied force to be established with reference to angular position. This makes the apparatus useful for comparing experimental force arrangements with graphical and mathematical vector calculations.
A complete ring arrangement is provided at the central region of the table. Cords connected to the ring can be directed over pulleys positioned around the circumference, enabling several forces to act simultaneously at selected angles.
The apparatus is supplied with four clamp pulleys. Their clamp-type mounting allows the pulleys to be positioned around the force table according to the angular requirements of the experiment.
A vertical support rod and tripod base provide support for the circular table during laboratory use. The arrangement creates a convenient elevated working position for cords and suspended loading systems.
Four cords with rings at one end are supplied with the apparatus. These cords can be incorporated into compatible experimental loading arrangements to apply forces through the central ring.
The Force Table is particularly useful for demonstrating the parallelogram law of forces, where two forces acting at an angle can be combined and compared with their resultant.
It can also support investigations involving the triangle and polygon laws of forces, depending on the selected experimental arrangement and number of applied forces.
For equilibrium experiments, several forces can be adjusted in magnitude and direction until the central ring reaches an equilibrium condition. The experimental values can then be compared with theoretical vector calculations.
The graduated circular scale allows users to resolve a force into appropriate directional components and investigate relationships between force magnitude and angular orientation.
By changing pulley positions and suspended loads, multiple force configurations can be created using the same apparatus. This makes the Force Table useful for a broad range of mechanics and vector-force demonstrations.
The apparatus is supplied without masses. Suitable laboratory masses or weight sets can be selected separately according to the experimental requirements.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Force Table is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories and scientific facilities requiring practical apparatus for vector, equilibrium and force-system experiments.
