Flywheel Apparatus

A flywheel mounted in ball bearings is placed in motion by a weight attached to a pulley. The inertia of the flywheel can be determined from the fall time of the weight. Using the basic experiments on uniformly accelerated angular motion can be performed. The unit is intended for wall mounting. Due to the clear, robust construction the unit is excellently suited to student experiments.
