Specification:
- Determination of forces induced in individual frame members; find theoretical forces by method of tension coefficients; study of three dimensional equilibrium.
- The wall mounted apparatus consists of a jib pivoted to the wall, and two ties. All incorporate direct reading spring balances to measure the internal forces.
- A load is hung from the jib by a load hanger.
- The vertical springing of the ties independently variable.
- The jib and ties re-adjustable to original lengths.
- An instruction manual for student and lecturer provided.
