Driving Mass
Product Code : JL-LEP-10148
The Driving Mass (SKU JL-LEP-10148) is a 3 gram mass that provides the net force in Newton's second law of motion experiment. The 3 gram driving mass hangs from a thin string that runs over the stopper fork guide, and its weight pulls the dynamics cart along the rail, giving a small, known force whose effect on carts of different mass can be measured. JaincoLab manufactures it in India as part of its dynamics cart apparatus for school physics laboratories.
Specifications
The driving mass is a 3 gram weight used to supply the net force in Newton's second law of motion experiment; it is listed under SKU JL-LEP-10148 and works with the thin string, which carries its pull to the cart, and the stopper fork assembly, which guides the string.

Applications of the 3 gram driving mass
The driving mass is used in the school mechanics practical where a small, repeatable pulling force is needed, so that changes in cart mass or in the number of driving masses can be compared directly. Typical uses are:
- Providing the net force that pulls a dynamics cart along the rail
- Increasing the pulling force in steps by adding further driving masses
- Studying how acceleration changes when the cart is loaded with cylindrical masses
- Plotting acceleration against applied force for a cart of fixed mass
