Centre of Gravity Kit
Product Code : JA-FMDE-9442
The Centre of Gravity Kit (SKU JA-FMDE-9442) is a simple demonstration set with which students find the centre of gravity of various shapes by an experimental method. This centre of gravity kit with 5 shapes combines shapes whose centre of gravity can be worked out mathematically with shapes where it has to be found by experiment, so results can be checked against calculation. JaincoLab makes it for school physics lessons on equilibrium.
Specifications
The kit is supplied with 5 shapes; some have a centre of gravity that can be determined mathematically and the others must be determined experimentally. Shape outlines, material and sizes are not stated in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.
