Friction Slide Apparatus
Product Code : EL-AMLE-10625
Quick Answer: The Friction Slide Apparatus is a compact bench top unit with a sturdy aluminum base plate, non-slip feet and a central vertical pillar, on which a ground steel plane pivots and locks at any angle between ±45° on a semi-circular protractor scale. Two composite slider trays are supplied, one pair made of aluminum and steel and the other of nylon and brass, and each is loaded with a weight hanger and weights until it just begins to slide up the plane, letting students determine the coefficient of friction or use the setup as an exercise in the equilibrium of forces. The apparatus comes with a comprehensive instruction manual for student and lecturer, along with a weights set and hanger.
The compact bench top unit has a sturdy aluminum base plate, non-slip feet and a central vertical pillar. Pivoting on this base is a ground steel plane which can be locked in any angular position between ±45°, indicated on a semi-circular protractor scale. Two composite slider trays are supplied, one pair being made out of aluminum and steel, whilst the other is made from nylon and brass, and you simply turn over the trays to test one or the other. Each tray in turn is attached to a weight hanger and weights are added until the tray just begins to slide; the hanger cord pulls the tray up the sloping steel plane whilst passing over a pulley and bearing, with the bearing reducing friction to ensure accurate results. The experiment may also be used as an exercise in equilibrium of forces, determining the force required to move the tray along the plane and so giving the coefficient of friction, and the slider trays also allow additional weight to be added, changing the experimental scope. The apparatus comes supplied with a comprehensive instruction manual for student and lecturer, weights set and hanger.
