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 builds the apparatus in its own factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The set stands on a static metal base with a triangular iron foot, a support rod of 10–13 mm diameter and a height of 700 mm. It adds a fixed 245 mm disk, 1 N and 2 N dynamometers for reading forces directly, and ten metal masses from 10 g to 50 g.

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.
- 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.
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. To start an order, send your list through the enquiry cart or the contact page, or check the lab tender page for tender work.
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, plus a 1.5 m / 2 m strip meter.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. This apparatus is produced in the company's factory at Saha, Ambala, India, so 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.
