Work Done by a Variable Force, Tangential Effort

Description

Work Done by a Variable Force, Tangential Effort

Specification:

• Bench mounted
• Reinforces concepts of work and energy
• Direct reading of tangential effort
• Back board with protractor for angular measurement
• Pivoting lever with hanger and spring balance at one end
• Spring balance attached at 90°
• Instruction manual supplied

Experimental Capabilities:

• To obtain the experimental relationship between effort and distance moved by effort, and to compare with a theoretical prediction
• To show that the work done is the area under a graph of load against distance moved
