How does the normal force change with angle on an inclined plane? This engaging piece of lab equipment makes the component theory of forces a tangible reality for every student. The Forces on Inclined Plane Demonstrator allows teachers and students to engage directly with these challenging concepts. The built-in digital scale reveals how the Normal Force changes dependent upon the angle, and the spring scale hooked to the cart will demonstrate how the Downhill Parallel Force component changes as the angle of the inclined plane is varied. Great for both conceptual development and laboratory use. Teachers can vary angles and mass to provide a variety of variables. Finally, a supportive and real-world alternative to the whiteboard problems. Fun and easy to use!! Please note: This apparatus, by definition, is a model of a complex concept. The configuration and types of components used are not exact, and some variation in measurements should be expected. Angles between 25deg and 70deg will yield the most accurate results. Required but not included: Assortment of Masses (any configuration up to 300 grams).
