Inclined Plane

Code: 4115.10

The most famous simple machine, revisited by Altay

One of the classical simple machines. This classical apparatus is devoted to the study of static friction and tangential/normal components of the weight force.

It consists of an aluminium folding track and a protractor scale to be used for angle measurements. A set of accessories allows to perform several classical experiments on this subject.
