AFME008 Equilibrium Of A Rigid Body
I.Overview
This equipment is for mechanical engineering department or mechanics engineering department in university, it’s for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics, Solid Mechanics major and other mechanics related department.
This equipment is used for studying the ground and wall reactions as a weight is moved up a rigid ladder. It is to be used with Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
A ladder with rollers at each end leans against a wall. Reactions at both ends of the ladder are measured by nylon cords tensioned by weights. A sliding weight can be clamped at any position on the ladder and the ladder is prevented from falling by a stirrup at the top.
Instruction manual is also included.
II.Typical Experiments
Determine ground and wall reactions as a body moves up a ladder.
Experimental verification of calculations using the three conditions of equilibrium
