Reaction forces

Principle

Investigate how large the load (supporting force) on two supporting pillars (supports) is, which, e.g., support a bridge on which there are vehicles.

Benefits

• Optimised for demonstration experiments: Transformation from horizontal into vertical direction
• Very good visibility: Big devices on uniform background
• Strong Magnets (at least 10 N) allow a safe mounting and therefore a very easy handling
• Demonstrative measurement of forces with large circular dynamometers with a fixing magnet and ball-bearing pulley with two cord grooves for two measuring ranges
• Magneto-adhesive measuring scale facilitate the measurements
• Colored arrows enhancing observations and explanations
