Product Code : EL-PLE-15738
Eduscope India is a leading Photogate System, Steel Ball, Release and Catch, Electronic Timer
Quick Answer: The Photogate System, Steel Ball, Release and Catch, Electronic Timer is a precision free-fall gravity experiment kit that gives schools and colleges dependable physics lab equipment India for measuring the acceleration due to gravity ('g') with millisecond accuracy — a well-built, export-ready choice for institutions upgrading their laboratory equipment school India wide.
Construction and Specifications
The system uses an electromagnetic ball release mechanism coordinated with the electronic timer, so the steel ball begins its drop at the exact instant timing starts, ensuring an accurate free-fall reading. Two photogates, each with a red LED light indicator, are clamped to the aluminium frame pole ruler at the positions required for the experiment. The frame sits on a height adjuster with a height of 1200mm and an adjustable tripod base, and a vertical adjustment strap with plumline is used to align the frame perfectly vertical before each trial. The photogates connect to the electronic timer through a cable fitted with USB and RJ11 ends. The electronic timer (e.g. SMART Timer Big Display or equivalent) delivers an accuracy of 0.001 seconds, with a minimum size of 250mm x 145mm x 110mm and a mass of 0.8kg. The kit is supplied with steel balls of 10mm and 18mm diameter, along with a steel ball catcher bag to catch the balls after each drop, and the complete kit has a minimum size of 250mm x 225mm x 1290mm. Also included is a worksheet for determining and calculating 'g', teacher sample data for different photogate distances explaining the calculation, and a user manual, backed by a one-year supplier warranty.
