Friction Demonstration Device (Tribometer)
Product Code : JL-GLE-11212
The Friction Demonstration Device (Tribometer), SKU JL-GLE-11212, is a JaincoLab apparatus for friction experiments. A wooden plane 81.5 x 10 x 2 cm can be set at angles from 0 to 45 degrees on a metal stand, and a 200 g trolley with a small friction roller at one end is pulled or allowed to slide on it while masses from 10 g to 100 g change the load. The stand holds the plane at the chosen angle and the S-shaped holder carries the masses.

Experiments with the tribometer
Practicals the tribometer supports:
- Comparing sliding and rolling friction
- Finding the angle at which the trolley starts to slide
- Changing the load with masses to see its effect on friction
- Measuring the pull needed to move the loaded trolley at a steady speed
