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.

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.
Scope of Delivery
Q: What is the Relationship Between Linear & Angular Speed Apparatus ProDynami - 1216 used for?
A: It is used to study the relationship between linear speed and angular speed by comparing the angular movement of a stepped shaft with the linear movement of weights.
Q: How many shaft diameters does the apparatus have?
A: The apparatus has three stepped diameters: Ø 250mm, Ø 100mm, and Ø 50mm.
Q: How is the shaft rotated and locked?
A: The shaft is rotated by a pin, which can also be used to lock the shaft.
Q: Can the starting positions of the bobs be adjusted?
A: Yes, bobs can be adjusted to ensure the same starting position across steps of different diameters, or set to different starting positions.
Q: What weights are included with the apparatus?
A: The apparatus includes 3x 0.5N hangers and 3x 2N weights.
