Centripetal Force Experiment

- The Centripetal force apparatus serves to measure and examine the centrifugal force resulting from the rotation of a body around a defined axis

- Experimental set is designed modernly with adjustable speed engine.

- Can be done with digital dynamometer, disc dynamometer or spring dynamometer

- Values ​​are very accurate.

- The test object is changable 

- Motor controller with  LED speed display.

Tasks:

- Investigation of rotation
- Investigate the Centripetal Force depending on the rotation speed.
- Investigate the Centripetal Force depending on the radius of rotation
- Investigate the Centripetal Force depending on the mass of the test object. 

Set Includes :

1. Centripetal apparatus:

+ Integrated motor

+ It has a mechanism to attach disk dynamometer and a spring dynamometer, which can be adjusted up and down from 0 to 80mm

+ The maximum rotation speed is 4 rpm.

+ Rotation Hand: diameter 50cm, with a ruler.

+ The test object may slide to change the turning radius.
