Description
Loaded
wires form a simple experiment which produces excellent and easy to
understand results. A single wire can be used to determine Young's
Modulus of Elasticity for the material, and to confirm Hooke's Law.
Two
brackets are secured to a wall minimum 2m apart in a vertical line; a
top bracket from which to hang a specimen wire, and a slider bracket
used to measure the extension of the wire. The slider includes a vernier
for accurate measurement. For safety, the lower bracket should be
reasonably close to the ground.
This equipment is part of a range
designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic
engineering principles. Great care has been given to each item so as to
provide wide experimental scope without unduly complicating or
compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and
compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with
the simplest possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement
is purely with the engineering principles being taught. A complete
instruction manual is provided describing the apparatus, its
application, experimental procedure and typical test results.
