About This Product
The strip balances on a stone agate knife edge, and its screen-printed 25-0-25 cm scale shows how far each sliding plastic hook is from the centre. Slotted weights hung on the hooks let students compare force multiplied by force arm on the two sides of the lever in Applied Mechanics practicals. This piece of mechanics lab equipment is supplied on a sheet metal stand, without weights.
