Torque

Principle

Demonstrate that a body which can be rotated about an axis on which forces act eccentrically remains at rest if it is counterbalanced by the torques induced by the forces (equilibrium of torques).

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 angular disc and measuring scale facilitate the measurements
