Friction & Inclined Plane Kit Model MT 124

Sci-tech Friction & Inclined Plane Kit Model MT 124 includes parts for experiments in friction and forces on a flat or inclined plane. The plane has an inclinometer and adjustment to allow the student to set the plane to any angle between zero and 90 degrees. The parts include different friction surfaces, a roller set, a rolling car or sled with adjustable mass, and a simple roller.

Students fit the different parts to the plane and apply masses. They learn how different surface finishes and mass affect friction and how surface angles and mass affect forces around a body on a plane.

The experiments introduce students to important engineering and scientific terms, such as the coefficient of friction, sliding friction and kinetic friction.

The inclinable plane allows students to do the classic forces on an inclined plane experiments. It also shows the relationship between frictional forces and angles other than horizontal.
