Relationship Between Linear & Angular Speed Apparatus | ProDynami – 1216
The Relationship Between Linear & Angular Speed Apparatus ProDynami – 1216 uses a three-stepped shaft with adjustable bobs to demonstrate the relationship between linear speed and angular speed. This apparatus compares angular shaft rotation with corresponding linear weight movement across three shaft diameters. It includes a bench or wall-mountable bracket, support block with bearing, and full weight set. A comprehensive instruction manual and stopwatch are included.
The Relationship Between Linear & Angular Speed Apparatus ProDynami – 1216 secures a stepped shaft to a main shaft within a bracket for bench or wall mounting. This apparatus studies the relationship between linear speed and angular speed using cord wrapped around each step of the shaft with adjustable bobs. It compares angular shaft movement with the corresponding linear movement of weights.
Product Overview
The stepped shaft is secured to a main shaft, which itself is secured within a bracket. The bracket can be bench or wall mounted. Wrapped around the circumference of each step of the shaft is cord. At the ends of each cord is a single adjustable bob. The adjustment of the bobs can be made to ensure that the starting positions of each bob is the same even though the steps are different diameters. Alternatively the starting position of each bob can be made different.
The shaft is rotated by a pin which can also be used to lock the shaft. The angular movement of the shaft and the corresponding linear movement of the weights can be compared, demonstrating the relationship between linear speed and angular speed on this apparatus. A comprehensive instruction manual for lecturer and student, giving full details on apparatus assembly and operation as well as example results, is provided. All necessary assembly and operational tools are provided.

Construction and Design
The Relationship Between Linear & Angular Speed Apparatus ProDynami – 1216 secures a stepped shaft to a main shaft, which is itself secured within a bracket suitable for bench or wall mounting. The shaft has three stepped diameters: Ø 250mm, Ø 100mm, and Ø 50mm. Cord is wrapped around the circumference of each step, with a single adjustable bob at the end of each cord. Bobs can be adjusted so that starting positions are matched across steps of different diameters, or set to different starting positions as needed. The shaft is rotated by a pin, which can also be used to lock the shaft in place. A support block with bearing supports the shaft assembly.
