Equilibrium Of A Rigid Body

Students or teachers fit the magnetic parts of the kit to the Work Panel to study or demonstrate the forces around an inclined ladder-type structure. For use with the Work Panel the kit allows several experiments with a rigid body a ladder structure. The versatility of the kit means that you can adjust the ladder angle between more than 15 to 45 degrees and try it with or without a climbing mass at any position along its length. The kit holds a model ladder at different angles with or without a climbing mass and measures the horizontal and vertical forces. Supplies each kit with a fully illustrated user guide containing theory, experiments and typical results.

Experiments:
A climbing mass on a ladder
A ladder at different angles
Horizontal and vertical reaction forces on a ladder
Safe angles for a ladder.
