Disk for the Balance of Moments
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12351
The Disk for the Balance of Moments (SKU SCL-PLE-12351) is a moment disc apparatus with scale pans for verifying the principle of moments. A well-balanced, machined aluminium disc of at least 245 mm diameter turns on ball bearings in a vertical plane, and pins carrying scale pans fit into holes arranged in concentric circles. JaincoLab supplies it for school and college practicals on moments and equilibrium.
Specifications
The apparatus has a machined aluminium disc of not less than 245 mm diameter that rotates smoothly on ball bearings about its axis, clamped on a stand with a triangular base in a vertical plane; symmetrically placed holes in concentric circles accept four pins that carry scale pans.

Applications of the moment disc apparatus with scale pans
The disc is used to verify the principle of moments: loads are placed in scale pans at chosen radii and the disc comes to rest when the clockwise and anticlockwise moments about its axis are equal.
- Verifying the principle of moments with loads at different distances from the axis
- Showing that a body is in equilibrium when the sum of moments is zero
- Studying the effect of several forces acting at different points on one body
- Class demonstrations and practicals in secondary-school and college mechanics
