Function and Applications

Exactly counter balanced lever to investigate the lever principles, to assemble a beam balance or to perform equilibrium and pendulum experiments.

Equipment and technical data

• Metallic rod with white and yellow demonstration subdivision.
• Length: 585 mm.
• 20 equidistant pins to hang spring balances, balance pans or weight holders with slotted weights and hook weights.
• Hole with cross-groove at the centre of gravity (indifferent balance).
• Either bolt with pin or bolt with knife edge are suitable for suspending the lever.
• In order to demonstrate stable and unstable balance, two supplementary holes are placed above and below the hole at the centre of gravity.
• Holes at the ends.
• Furthermore a threaded hole to take pointer.
