Description
(Product number: HST23B
This option is available to enhance the experiments of the HST23. It uses a majority of the standard items supplied with the HST23, so no additional large costs are required.
A simulated ‘ladder’ can be leant against the inside members of the HST1 or HST100 frames. At each end of the ladder are bearing rollers. The vertical roller is supported in a wall plate whilst the horizontal roller is supported in a ground plate. To prevent collapse of the ladder it is loosely restrained within the vertical wall plate.
The vertical and horizontal reactions are provided by cords tensioned using a combination of calibrated weights. Equilibrium is monitored by visually observing the roller positions when the ladder is loaded.
A sliding weight can be easily clamped at selected positions on the ladder while equilibrium is established.
The weights and hangers provided with the HST23 are used for the HST23B.
