This apparatus can be used to demonstrate the verification of the laws of composition and resolution of forces.
It is comprised of a machined aluminium table 40cm in diameter, on a heavy vertical support rod and tripod base.
A ring has four cords attached to it that can have masses hung from them. When the forces are balanced, the ring rests in the centre of the table. Each of the 4 cords pass over a pulley which guides them at the required angle and reduces friction on the edge of the table.
- 360° graduated scale
- 4 pulleys can be positioned at varying angles around the perimeter of the table
