Tension Coefficient

Tension Coefficient

Specification:

• Determination of forces induced in individual frame members; find theoretical forces by method of tension coefficients; study of three dimensional equilibrium.
• The wall mounted apparatus consists of a jib pivoted to the wall, and two ties. All incorporate direct reading spring balances to measure the internal forces.
• A load is hung from the jib by a load hanger.
• The vertical springing of the ties independently variable.
• The jib and ties re-adjustable to original lengths.
• An instruction manual for student and lecturer provided.
• Set of weights.
