Hall’s Carriage
Model Number: MTM-68
The Hall’s Carriage from Micro Technologies is a compact mechanics laboratory carriage designed for experiments involving motion, force, acceleration and dynamics. It features a metal body with a central well for additional masses, along with an attachment hole for connecting a cord. The carriage measures approximately 13 × 5 × 3 cm, making it suitable for a variety of laboratory motion experiments.
Product Specification
The Hall’s Carriage from Micro Technologies is a laboratory dynamics accessory designed for practical investigations of linear motion, force, mass, acceleration and Newton’s laws of motion.
The carriage consists of a metal body fitted with wheels, allowing it to move along a suitable laboratory surface or experimental track.
A central feature of the carriage is the well provided for loading additional masses.
By placing known masses into the well, students can vary the total mass of the moving system and investigate how changes in mass affect its acceleration under an applied force.
This makes the carriage particularly useful for experiments based on Newton’s Second Law of Motion:
F = ma
where:
F = Net Force
m = Mass of the System
a = Acceleration
For a constant applied force, increasing the total mass of the carriage results in a lower acceleration. Conversely, for a fixed mass, increasing the applied force produces greater acceleration.
The Hall’s Carriage therefore provides a straightforward experimental platform for observing the relationship between these fundamental mechanics quantities.
A hole is provided at one end of the body for attaching a cord.
The cord can be connected to a suitable pulley and hanging-mass arrangement, allowing a controlled pulling force to be applied to the carriage.
This arrangement can support experiments involving tension, acceleration, resultant force and uniformly accelerated motion.
Students may also use the carriage to investigate the effect of changing the applied load while keeping the total moving mass constant, or changing the carriage mass while maintaining a similar pulling force.
These comparative experiments help connect mathematical relationships with directly observable motion.
The wheeled construction reduces resistance to movement and provides smooth travel for laboratory demonstrations when used on a suitable level surface or dynamics track.
The carriage may also be incorporated into broader experimental setups involving collisions, momentum, inertia and motion measurement, depending on the accessories used with it.
Its compact dimensions of approximately 13 × 5 × 3 cm make the unit convenient for laboratory storage and integration with existing mechanics equipment.
The metal body provides durability for repeated institutional laboratory use, while the loading well simplifies the addition and removal of experimental masses.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, Hall’s Carriage is suitable for physics and mechanics laboratories requiring a reusable dynamics carriage for fundamental motion experiments.
