Friction Demonstration Device (Tribometer)
Product Code : JL-GLE-11247
SKU JL-GLE-11247 is a Friction Demonstration Device (Tribometer) made by JaincoLab. Its 81.5 cm wooden plane rests on a metal stand at any angle from 0 to 45 degrees, and a 200 g trolley, 10 x 8 x 4 cm, carries a small friction roller at one end. Loading the trolley with weights of 10-100 g lets a class see how friction changes with load, surface contact and slope. The coefficient of friction can be estimated from the angle at which the trolley just begins to slide.
