Wheel and Axle Apparatus Model MT 082

Sci-tech Wheel and Axle Apparatus Model MT 082 has dual diameter wheel has an axle supported on simple pivots in a sturdy wall mounting bracket. Each wheel has a cord wrapped around its periphery. The cords can be wrapped in either direction around each wheel. A load hanger is added to each cord allowing loading of the wheels using the calibrated weights set provided.

Using the hangers and weights allows the experimental determination of velocity ratio and comparison with calculated values. Students can also determine the variation of effort with load and the variation of efficiency with load.

Size: 45cm x 45cm x 50cm (LxWxH)
Weight: 15 kg
