Work Done by a Variable Force, Tangential Effort
Specification:
- Bench mounted
- Reinforces concepts of work and energy
- Direct reading of tangential effort
- Back board with protractor for angular measurement
- Pivoting lever with hanger and spring balance at one end
- Spring balance attached at 90°
- Instruction manual supplied
Experimental Capabilities:
- To obtain the experimental relationship between effort and distance moved by effort, and to compare with a theoretical prediction
- To show that the work done is the area under a graph of load against distance moved
