Moment of Force Apparatus
Product Code : JL-LE-10591
The Moment of Force Apparatus (SKU JL-LE-10591, Cat. No. JSS-300/058) shows how the moment of a force depends on the size of the force and the length of the lever arm. A metre stick rests on an aluminium support through knife-edge clamps, and slotted masses are hung from it until it balances, letting students compare clockwise and anticlockwise moments. The principle of moments apparatus has its own storage rack.
