Wheel and Differential Axle Apparatus

Wheel and Differential Axle Apparatus

Technical Description:

The model demonstrates the conditions of equilibrium on a differential pulley block. Three anodised aluminium pulleys of different diameter are fitted to a shaft mounted on ball bearings. The forces act, on the one hand, directly on the peripheral of the largest pulley, on the other hand, via a loose pulley on two smaller pulleys. Easy to interchange weights permit the load to be varied such that equilibrium is obtained. The model is intended for wall mounting.

Specification:

1. Experiment on the equilibrium of forces and moments on a differential pulley block
2. 3 pulleys made of anodised aluminium
3. 2 sets of weights
4. Ball bearing mounted steel shaft
5. Anodised aluminium base plate
