Product Details

This apparatus is designed to study the principles of centrifugal force, allowing students to investigate its relationship with rotating mass, rotational speed, and the radius of rotation. It provides a practical method for verifying the theoretical dependence of centrifugal force on these key dynamic variables. The unit features a rotating arm on a vertical axis, where different masses can be attached at various radial positions. A variable-speed motor controls the rotation, and an integrated LCD display shows the rotational speed and the resulting centrifugal force measured by a force sensor. The system includes a protective cover for safe operation during experiments, enabling users to safely adjust parameters and observe the direct effects on force generation. Its primary application is in mechanical and civil engineering education for teaching dynamics and vibration principles. The key benefit is the hands-on ability to collect and analyze data, enabling students to quantitatively confirm theoretical formulas and understand the practical implications of centrifugal effects in machinery, vehicle dynamics, and rotating structures.
