About This Product
Students release an object from a fixed point to study its motion down the slope, or raise the angle slowly until a block just starts to slide to find the coefficient of friction. Repeating the work at several angles shows how the slope changes the force needed and the acceleration produced. Enquiries from Mongolia, Sierra Leone, Jamaica, Serbia, Brunei and Latvia for the Precision inclined plane receive an export quotation.
