The experimental unit illustrates the laws for forming the equilibrium of moments in static systems. Two pulleys with different diameters are mounted on a steel shaft, which is itself mounted on ball bearings. The relations between wheel diameter, moment and circumferential force are demonstrated.
Features:
Memorable demonstration of the equilibrium of moments.
Learning Objectives And Experiments:
Effect of forces as a function of pulley diameter.
Fundamentals of the equilibrium of moments: acting forces, generated moments and equilibrium.
