1 HANGING BALANCE BEAM SET This classic piece of apparatus is designed for investigating levers and moments. The wooden beams are drilled in the centre to allow a dowel to form the pivot point. Metal hooks can be placed at drilled marked intervals and masses hung from them. Designed to be mounted in a clamp stand. Supplied in packs of 5 Cat No. Description Price Per FMF-310-100 Hanging Balance Beam Set 60.74 set 2 LEVERS KIT Designed to eliminate the inaccuracies associated with traditional levers kits by providing fixed location holes for 10g mass carriers. The mass carriers are placed in the holes of choice on the wooden beam allowing students to add their masses. The beam is supported in the centre within a stable plastic fulcrum system. Supplied with 5 beams, 5 fulcrums and 15 mass carriers. Cat No. Description Price Per FMF-315-100 Levers Kit 72.69 ea. 3 UNBALANCED ROD A classic science puzzle proving that looks can be deceptive. The ‘unbalanced rod’ is a 1m long wooden rod with one end hollowed out and replaced with metal, meaning the centre of gravity is heavily off set from the central position that students expect! Cat No. Description Price Per FMF-345-100 Unbalanced Rod 34.33 ea.

4 CENTRIFUGAL FORCE APPARATUS The device is composed of a track where a low friction bobbin can run. By rotating the device with the rotation device (available separately), it is possible to read the value of the centrifugal force on the Newton spring scale fixed about the rotation axis. Moreover, it is possible to verify the centrifugal force formula too, know- ing the radius. Measuring the frequency of rotation is required and can be achieved using any of our light gates. Cat No. Description Price Per FMF-510-100 Centrifugal Force Apparatus 141.36 ea. 5 ROTATION DEVICE This manual rotating device will take shafts of 6mm diameter. Size: 400x300 mm Cat No. Description Price Per FMF-520-100 Rotation Device 124.07 ea.
