Principle
The students should deflect a force with a fixed pulley and
determine whether the forces and distances are changed by doing
this.
Further, through experiment and calculation they should
determine whether the products of load × load distance and
force × force distance are equal.
The term "(slotted) weight" is incorrect inasmuch as we are
dealing with a mass which becomes a weight (in reality "a
weight-force") under the influence of the earth's gravity. The term
"mass piece" used here is better.
Benefits
- Real stand material for an esecially stable and safe setup
- Student-suitable experiment descriptions with reports available
