Principle

Demonstrate that one can determine the coefficient of friction μ on an inclined plane without measuring any forces.

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
