Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12353
The Apparatus for Demonstrating Circular Motion (SKU SCL-PLE-12353) is a simple centrifugal apparatus used as a circular motion apparatus for centripetal force calculations. A suspended metal mass swings outward as the apparatus rotates, and a vertically mounted pointer is moved to match its tip so the radius can be read. JaincoLab supplies it with three cylindrical metal bodies, a plastic rod and thread for school and college mechanics practicals.
Specifications
The apparatus is a simple centrifugal unit supplied with three cylindrical metal bodies, a plastic rod and 1.5-2 m of thread; the displacement of the suspended mass at any speed is marked by a vertically mounted pointer that moves sideways to match the pointed tip of the mass.

Applications of the circular motion apparatus for centripetal force
The apparatus is used to find the centripetal force on a rotating mass: students read the radius from the pointer, measure the speed of rotation and calculate the force from the known mass.
- Calculating centripetal force from mass, speed of rotation and radius
- Comparing the displacement of different metal masses at the same speed
- Showing how the radius of the path changes with the speed of rotation
- Circular motion practicals in senior secondary and college physics

Frequently asked questions
How is the radius of rotation measured?
A vertically mounted pointer is moved sideways until it matches the pointed tip of the suspended mass, which marks the displacement at that speed.
Which masses are supplied?
Three cylindrical metal bodies.
How is the centripetal force found?
It is calculated from the mass, the speed of rotation and the radius.
