Apparatus for Demonstrating the Moment of Force
Product Code : SCL-PL-11801
Apparatus for Demonstrating the Moment of Force (SKU SCL-PL-11801) shows a class how the turning effect of a force depends on its size and its distance from the axis. With a 245 mm disk, two spring dynamometers and a box of metal masses, it suits secondary-school physics and junior-college mechanics. Science Lab Supplies is the maker, producing the set at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and its own sales desk quotes schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each part of the moment-of-force set, from base to strip meter, is entered as a separate row below. In short, a static metal base with triangular iron feet carries a 10–13 mm rod 700 mm high and a fixed 245 mm disk, with 1 N and 2 N dynamometers, ten metal masses of 10–50 g and a 1.5 m / 2 m strip meter.

Applications and Experiments for the Moment of Force Apparatus
The apparatus is used to verify the principle of moments: a body is in equilibrium when the clockwise and anticlockwise moments about its axis are equal. It supports turning-effect topics in secondary physics and the rotational-motion chapter of Class 11, and is practical mechanics lab equipment in India for schools and junior colleges.
- ICSE Class 10 physics: moment of a force and the principle of moments, followed by centre-of-gravity work with the 20 x 20 cm Center-of-Gravity Plate Set.
- NCERT Class 11 physics: torque and equilibrium of a rigid body.
- Reading a force in newtons on a dynamometer and comparing its moment with that of hanging masses, then balancing masses on the Pan Balance Scale Demonstration Lever.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set contains the static metal base with triangular iron base, a rod with insulating head, one rod with hooks and two clamps, the fixed 245 mm disk, one 2 N and one 1 N dynamometer, a removable clip, a box of ten metal masses from 10 g to 50 g, and a 1.5 m / 2 m strip meter.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be prepared for a single apparatus or for enough sets to equip a whole physics laboratory, and each one lists the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other mechanics items from this range can be added to the same quotation.
With an Importer-Exporter Code on record, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. A turning-effect bench can be priced as soon as you list the sets you need in the enquiry cart or on the contact page; the lab tender page sets out how tender orders are handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the moment of force apparatus demonstrate?
It shows that the turning effect of a force equals the force multiplied by its perpendicular distance from the axis, and that a body balances when clockwise and anticlockwise moments are equal.
Which dynamometers and masses come with the set?
One 1 N and one 2 N dynamometer and a box of ten metal masses from 10 g to 50 g are included, together with a 1.5 m / 2 m strip meter for measuring distances from the axis.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This moments apparatus comes out of the company's own factory at Saha, Ambala, India, so Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer and your quotation is issued by the maker itself rather than by a trading middleman.
Can the apparatus be included in a tender or bulk order?
Yes. Share the number of sets, the delivery location and any tender specification, and you will receive an item-wise quotation matching the parts listed on this page.
