Description
A
variable speed electric motor drives two rotating wheels on which a
specimen bar oscillates with a single harmonic motion due to the even
pressure that it exerts on each wheel in turn. The bar frequency is
dependent on the coefficient of sliding friction. A number of specimen
bars of different materials are provided. The distance between the two
wheels can be varied. A stop watch is provided.
This
equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and
experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been
given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without
unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus
is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all
measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so
that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles
being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the
apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test
results.
