United Scientific® Centripetal Force Apparatus
Help students explore the physics of circular motion with this hands-on Centripetal Force Apparatus.
Using a spring scale and a rotating mass, learners can directly investigate the relationship between velocity, radius, and force.
As they spin the rubber stopper overhead while holding the handle, tension builds in the string and is measured by the spring scale, offering a clear, quantifiable demonstration of centripetal force.
The adjustable string length and easy-to-read scale make it ideal for classroom experiments in motion, force, and Newtonian mechanics.
Includes:
- Apparatus with white handle and rubber stopper
- 5N spring scale with numeric readout
- Adjustable string (up to 24”)
- Activity guide
