Friction Apparatus investigating frictions quantitatively

Friction Apparatus is designed to investigate static friction, sliding friction and rolling friction.Students can investigate friction qualitatively and quantitatively with our Friction Apparatus.

Friction is defined as the force that resists relative motion between the surfaces in contact when they move past each other. Friction is caused due to irregularities on the two surfaces in contact. when one object moves over the other, these irregularities on the surface get entangled, giving rise to friction. The greater the roughness, the more irregularities and the more significant will be the friction.Friction is helpful in most cases. As a force, friction depends on two external factors. One, Friction is dependent on the smoothness or roughness of the two surfaces between in contact with each other. When the surface is smooth, the friction decreases. While the surface is rough, the friction increases.The other, friction depends on the force that is acting on these surfaces.Friction increases when the force is applied along with the irregularities.There are four types of friction: Static friction, Sliding friction, Rolling friction and Fluid friction. Static friction is the friction that acts between the surfaces when they are at rest with respect to each other.In contrast, sliding friction is the resistance created between any two objects when sliding against each other. Similarly, Rolling friction is the force which resists the motion of a ball or wheel. While, Fluid friction is the friction that exists between the layers of the fluid when they are moving relative to each other.

Friction Apparatus, Economy

Friction Apparatus,Economy consists of a friction board and a friction block, both made of high quality, smoothly finished pine wood.The friction block has three compartments to hold additional weights and a hook on the side for a spring scale. The friction block can be placed face-up or sideways to increase or decrease the friction the area of the block. Students can vary the weight or area of contact to test their impact on the frictional force. Students can also study the effect of incline on friction by placing the board on a rod. Friction Apparatus,Economy comes with three 50g weights and a 100g / 1.0N spring scale. The board is 20 inch (500mm)x 2 inch (50mm) x 5/16 inch (8mm) and the friction block is 4 inch (100mm) x 1.5 inch (38mm) x 1.25 inch (28mm).

Friction Apparatus, Advanced

This Friction Apparatus,Advanced type is used to demonstrate static friction, sliding friction and rolling friction.Students can investigate friction qualitatively and quantitatively.This Friction Apparatus, Advanced type includes:

A 200g/2.0N spring scale with a pulley at bottom mounted vertically on one end of a 60cm length flat aluminum alloy base. A 300 mm in length trolley with a 300 mm yellow scale.A 200mm in length friction block with different roughness on face-up and sideways to increase or decrease the friction of the block, a hook on both side of the block.A 60mm in diameter friction column.Two pulleys, one mounted on the spring scale and the other mounted on the flat aluminum alloy base.

Lay the trolley on the alloy base, and then place the friction block/column on the trolley at the position marked 30cm.One thin line passing through the pulley on the spring scale connects the friction block/column and spring scale.Pull the trolley to the right gently at a constant speed and investigate the sliding friction and rolling friction. The friction block can be placed face-up or sideways to increase or decrease the friction of the block. Students can vary the weight to test their impact on the frictional force. Moreover, let another line passing through the pulley mounted at the end of the alloy base to connect the friction block and the small bucket for loading weights. Add weights into the bucket to study the static friction.

This Friction Apparatus,Deluxe type is designed for qualitative and quantitative study of friction.This apparatus can perfectly solve the unstable readings in the Friction Apparatus, Deluxe type. This Friction Apparatus, Deluxe type consists of a vertical plate fixing a 2.0N spring scale and a pulley, a stepless speed regulation motor with two axles and one belt, and a friction block has one compartments to hold additional weights and a hook on the side for a spring scale. The pulley on is used to change the direction of pulling force.

The friction block is placed on the belt, and a thin line passing through the pulley connects the friction block and spring scale. When turn on the switch on the motor, the motor rotates immediately to drive the the axles and the belt, and then a relative infinite movement will be produced between the belt and the the block. The friction block can be placed face-up or sideways to increase or decrease the friction the area of the block. Students can vary the weight or area of contact to test their impact on the frictional force.
