Atwood Machine
The Atwood Machine is a classic apparatus used in physics laboratories to demonstrate the principles of Newton’s laws of motion, acceleration, and dynamics. It is an essential teaching tool that helps students understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in a simple and visual manner.
Product Description:-
This Atwood Machine consists of a sturdy vertical stand with a low-friction pulley mounted at the top. Two masses are suspended on either side of the pulley using a durable string. When released, the difference in mass causes the system to accelerate, allowing students to measure and verify theoretical calculations of motion and force.
Features:-
- High-quality metal stand with stable base for durability
- Low-friction pulley ensures smooth movement of the string
- Precision-engineered weights for accurate experiments
- Easy-to-use setup for classroom demonstrations
- Ideal for experiments on acceleration, gravity, and tension in strings
Parts of Atwood Machine:-
- Pulleys – Smooth and low-friction pulley mounted on a frame.
- Pulley Frame / Stand – Rigid support to hold the pulley in place.
- String / Cord – Lightweight, inextensible thread passing over the pulley.
- Mass Hangers – Metal hangers attached at both ends of the string.
- Slotted Weights – Standard weights that can be added to the hangers.
- Base / Support Stand – Stable base to keep the apparatus steady.
- Clamp / Fixing Screws – To secure the apparatus to a retort stand or table.
