Apparatus for Demonstrating the Moment of Force
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12345
The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Moment of Force (SKU SCL-PLE-12345) is a moment of force apparatus with a 245 mm disc, mounted on a 700 mm stand with a triangular iron base. Weights and 1 N and 2 N dynamometers are attached to the disc so that students can balance turning effects and compare clockwise and anticlockwise moments. JaincoLab supplies it for school physics lessons on moments and equilibrium.
Specifications
The apparatus stands 700 mm high on a static metal stand with a triangular iron base and a 10-13 mm rod, and carries a 245 mm disc together with a fixed disc, a rod with hooks and 2 clamps, 1 N and 2 N dynamometers and a box of 10 metal weights from 10 g to 50 g.

Applications of the moment of force apparatus
The apparatus is used in lessons on turning effects, where forces are applied at measured distances from the pivot of the disc and students check whether the moments on each side balance.
- Demonstrating the moment of a force about a pivot
- Verifying the principle of moments with weights hung at different positions
- Measuring an applied force with the 1 N or 2 N dynamometer while the disc is in equilibrium
- Studying equilibrium of a body under several forces
- Class demonstrations in secondary-school mechanics
