EQUILIBRIUM OF MOMENTS ON A TWO-ARM LEVER (ECS085)

The Equilibrium of Moments on a Two-Arm Lever Apparatus (ECS085) demonstrates the fundamental law of the lever and the concept of moments in static equilibrium. It enables students to understand how force and distance influence rotational balance, making it an essential experiment for the study of statics and basic mechanics principles.

Key Features

Precision Two-Arm Lever System:
A ball-bearing mounted beam ensures low-friction movement, enabling accurate observation of equilibrium conditions.
Integrated Measurement Scale:
The beam includes a built-in scale for easy measurement of lever arms and force application points.
Durable Metal Frame:
The apparatus is mounted on a sturdy metal structure for long-term use in laboratory conditions.
Compact and Portable Design:
Lightweight and easy to assemble, ideal for both classroom demonstrations and student experiments.
