Apparatus for the Study of the Dependence of the Acceleration of the Body on Force When the Mass Remains at C.
Product Code : SCL-PL-11811
Apparatus for the Study of the Dependence of the Acceleration of the Body on Force When the Mass Remains at C. (SKU SCL-PL-11811), where "C." stands for constant, is a cart-and-track set for investigating Newton's second law: with the mass held fixed, the acceleration of a cart increases in proportion to the applied force. It serves Class 9 and Class 11 physics and college mechanics labs. Science Lab Supplies fabricates the set at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and delivers it direct to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Two laboratory carts, primary and secondary, of 290 x 140 x 90 mm (0.87 kg as listed), run on two 1.5 x 0.3 m tracks: one for straight-line motion and one for curved motion. Primary and secondary gates with mounting accessories, hooked masses of 50–100 g and plastic side clamps complete the set.

Applications and Experiments for the Acceleration and Force Apparatus
The apparatus is used to show that, for a body of constant mass, acceleration is directly proportional to the net force, the core of Newton's second law F = ma. Students change the hanging load, measure the cart's motion along the track and plot acceleration against force.
- NCERT Class 9 science (Force and Laws of Motion): the second law of motion.
- NCERT Class 11 physics (Laws of Motion): F = ma and the effect of net force.
- Comparing motion on the straight track with motion on the curved track.
- College and polytechnic mechanics labs: graphing acceleration against applied force.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set is supplied with two carts (primary and secondary), two 1.5 x 0.3 m tracks for straight and curved motion, primary and secondary gates with mounting accessories, a box of hooked masses of 50–100 g, left and right plastic side clamps and a demonstration table for the experiment.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover a single set or a quantity for a full mechanics laboratory, each stating packing, delivery time and price for the number requested. You can include other mechanics lab equipment in India from the range on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code, which means it can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Put the set in the enquiry cart, write via the contact page, or read the lab tender page if you are preparing a bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What law does this apparatus investigate?
Newton's second law. Keeping the cart's mass constant while changing the applied force shows that acceleration rises in proportion to the force.
What size are the carts and tracks?
Each cart measures 290 x 140 x 90 mm, and the two tracks are 1.5 x 0.3 m, one straight and one curved.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is a manufacturer; the carts, tracks and fittings are made at its Saha, Ambala facility in India, which also prepares your quotation.
What does "at C." mean in the name?
It is short for "at constant", meaning the body's mass stays the same throughout the experiment while the force is varied.
