Advanced Student Experiments Kit SEK - Mechanics

The Advanced Student Experiments Kit SEK - Mechanics contains the apparatus needed to carry out a range of advanced mechanics experiments for students. Detailed instructions and manuals for teachers and students are included on CD-ROM. The apparatus is stored in a tough plastic tray which includes foam inserts for each piece of apparatus to ensure the apparatus is stored safely and securely.

A Range Of Mechanics Experiments

This kit enables students to carry out a range of experiments on the mechanics of solids, liquids and gases. The full list of experiments possible with this kit is:

• Hooke's law
• Calibrating a dynamometer
• Deformation of a leaf spring
• Addition of forces acting along the same line
• Resolution of a force into two components
• Investigation of inertia
• Types of friction
• Laws of static and kinetic friction
• Equilibrium conditions for a first class lever
• Equilibrium conditions for second and third-class levers
• Forces, paths and work with fixed pulleys
• Forces, paths and work with non-fixed pulleys
• Forces, paths and work with blocks and tackle
• Forces, paths and work with multiple pulleys
• Forces on an inclined plane
• Determining the volume of solid bodies
• Determining the mass of solid bodies (beam balance)
• Determination of density
• Determining the nature of a material by measuring density
• Period of a string pendulum
• Determining gravitational acceleration with the aid of a string pendulum
• Period of a spring oscillator

Please note: these experiments also require the Advanced Student Experiments Kit Base Plate.
