Mechanics
Mechanics is the branch of Physics dealing with the study of motion. It is the science which deals with the physical state of rest or motion of bodies under the action of the forces. The major division of the mechanics discipline separates classical mechanics from quantum mechanics.
MONKEY HUNTING APPARATUS
- Parabolic Collision with minimum setup time.
- Projectile and target fall at the same rate, they collide.
- Electromagnet operated by 1.5 V dry cell holds a plastic ball(Monkey).
- Angle Mirror for adjusting sight.
Demonstration of collision & parabolic trajectories.
The tube (hunter’s gun) is a spring loaded launching piston allowing to adjust launch angle of ball.
PROJECTILE LAUNCHER
Projectile launcher is used for investigating the motion of projectile at different angle of projection (0-900). The angle is read by means of a plumb line that is attached to the unit. A spring loaded rod is used to project a ball (Projectile). This set up can be easily mounted on the edge of laboratory table.
VELOCITY OF SOUND APPARATUS
Used for determining velocity of sound in air or quantitative experiments on resonating columns. It contains a 120cm long plastic tube, graduated in cm. A water reservoir which can be easily moved up or down, connects the tube which is mounted on a support stand. A clamp for mounting tuning fork over the resonance tube is given. A detailed manual is included.
