Physics equipment ID
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can identify this physics equipment?

Re: Physics equipment ID
Tricky. Interesting, but tricky. I can't really place it.
It looks like you have three distinct metal wires (copper, brass, steel?), each with a ring at one end and a brass bar at the other.
Possibly used for heat conductivity demonstrations? Maybe. I don't know.

Is it for the sonometer?

Wires for Youngs Modulus appparatus? Never used it, but I had those too. Chucked them out before the refurb.

Hi Tammy, You have Steve Ryde working there don't you??
If so ask him he is a guru of physics.

Tammy, let us know, once you have found out.

Re: Physics equipment ID
Love how your mind works, and jealous that you got to say it first!
I would have said an old centripedal force rig, except, as was pointed out, that they are clearly different types of wires. I ask one of my teachers here.
Cheers, K

Re: Physics equipment ID
This was the best explanation as to how they would have been used in the labs

They have not been used in the 14 years I have been here.

Re: Physics equipment ID
Youngs Modulus= stress/strain by supporting and putting weights on and measure the expansion

Re: Physics equipment ID
Thank you all so much, now I know what they are stress and strain/measuring expansion
Thank you
Thank you
Re: Physics equipment ID
Look up Young's modulus on wikipedia Very comprehencive
Also look up Houndsfield test
