DETERMINATION OF g APPARATUS
Product Code : EL-PLE-15141
Eduscope India is a leading DETERMINATION OF g APPARATUS
Quick Answer: This Determination of g Apparatus is a free-fall apparatus used to measure the acceleration due to gravity, making it a practical addition to any set of physics lab equipment India schools rely on as part of a broader laboratory equipment school India programme covering mechanics.
Construction and Specifications
The apparatus comprises two units that attach to a retort rod, each fitted with wire leads connected to a suitable timing device, allowing the release and fall of the metal mass to be timed accurately. When the metal mass is released from the upper unit, the timer starts automatically; as the mass reaches the lower unit at the end of its fall, the timer stops, recording the precise time taken. Using the known fall distance between the two units together with the measured time recorded by the timer, the acceleration due to gravity (g) can be calculated. This apparatus is commonly used together with a digital stopclock, digital event timer, or datalogger for recording the fall time.
