Principle
A body with variable mass moves on a circular path with
adjustable radius and variable angular velocity. The centrifugal
force of the body will be measured as a function of these
parameters.
Benefits
- Easy to read measures
- Several loadable weights enable variable set-up
- Freely set various steady rotational velocities
Tasks
Determination of the centrifugal force as a function
- of the mass,
- of the angular velocity,
- of the distance from the axis of rotation to the centre of
gravity of the car.
