Inclined Plane
Product Code : JL-LE-10730
The Inclined Plane (SKU JL-LE-10730, Cat. No. JSS-345/0113) is a simple hardwood apparatus for studying uniformly accelerated motion and forces on a slope. A hinged plane, 60 x 7.5 cm, is set at angles between 24 and 45° using a wood block against the stepped lower face, and a 38 mm aluminium pulley at the top carries a cord to a scale pan through a cut-away base. A cylindrical metal roller and two sliders complete the set-up.

Experiments with the hardwood inclined plane
- Timing the roller down the slope to study uniformly accelerated motion
- Finding the force needed to pull a slider up the plane with masses in the scale pan
- Comparing friction for the two slider sizes at different angles
- Resolving the weight of the roller into components along and perpendicular to the slope
