About This Product
Students set the plane to a measured angle, pull the slider up with a mass hung over the pulley, and resolve the forces along and across the slope. The same setup is used to find the coefficient of friction from the angle at which the block starts to slide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What angle range does the Inclined Plane Apparatus cover?
The integrated protractor reads from 0 to 45°, and a locking sector holds the incline at the chosen angle.
