Block with Hook
Product Code : SCL-CL-11860
Block with Hook (SKU SCL-CL-11860) is a 10 x 5 x 1 cm friction block with different surfaces and a metal hook, used to study friction and how objects move across different surfaces. Pulled with a spring balance on the hook, it shows that rough faces resist motion more than smooth ones and that extra weight on top raises friction. Schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors can get it priced by Science Lab Supplies, which sends orders out from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The friction block's details, from its 10 x 5 x 1 cm size to its hook, fill the table below. In short, its faces carry different surfaces for friction investigation, and a metal hook connects it to a spring balance or string so the force needed to pull the block can be measured directly.

Applications and Experiments for the Block with Hook
The block acts as the moving body in school friction practicals. Students pull it across a bench or track on each face, record the force, then add weights on top and repeat, showing how surface texture and normal force change friction. It suits middle school through first-year college physics.
- NCERT Class 8 science, friction: comparing the pull needed on rough and smooth surfaces.
- CBSE Class 11 physics practical: relating limiting friction to normal reaction, adding small masses from the Physical Weight Box Of 100gm Iron Chrome Plate, and finding the coefficient of friction.
- Inclined plane studies: finding the angle at which the block begins to slide on the Inclined Plane Brass.
- Diploma and B.Sc. mechanics: static and kinetic friction measurements.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Block with Hook is supplied as a single 10 x 5 x 1 cm block with its different surfaces and metal hook. Spring balances, weights, pulleys and tracks are separate items, and any of them can be added to the quotation so the friction practical is ready to run.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order one block for a demonstration or a block for every pair of students. The quotation will state packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and a dynamometer, weights or other chemistry lab equipment in India from the same range can be quoted with it.
Science Lab Supplies, which holds an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Mention how many friction blocks you need on the contact page, pair them with a force meter in the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page if the purchase goes to tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the friction block?
It measures 10 cm long, 5 cm wide and 1 cm thick. Its faces carry different surfaces, so one block gives several friction comparisons on the same bench or laboratory track.
What does the experiment show?
Pulling the block on its different faces shows that rough surfaces create more resistance than smooth ones, and adding weight on top shows that a greater pulling force is then needed.
Who is the supplier of the Block with Hook?
Science Lab Supplies is the supplier and quotes it from its base in Ambala, India. The block can be quoted on its own or bundled into school, college and contractor orders for a complete friction bench.
How is the pulling force measured?
Attach a spring balance or dynamometer to the metal hook and pull steadily; alternatively run a string over a table-clamp pulley to hanging weights.
