Suspension Cable Demonstration .
Suspension Cable Demonstration
Description
- For use with the Work Panel the kit allows several experiments with a suspension cable.
- Students
or teachers fit the magnetic parts of the kit to the Work Panel to
study or demonstrate the shapes and tensions in a suspension cable.
- The kit compares a suspension cable with a catenary cable and analyses results using catenary and parabolic theory.
- It
includes a roller chain (the cable), held by magnetically mounted
sprocket pulleys and a set of weight hangers and weights. Spring
balances measure the tension in the cable.
- The
versatility of the kit means that you can create symmetrical and
non-symmetrical cables, with point loads or with evenly-spread loads.
Experiments of Suspension Cable Demonstration
