Friction Apparatus (each)

United Scientific FRAP01 is a versatile, hands-on apparatus designed to explore the principles of static and kinetic friction. With a high-quality wooden board and friction block, this set allows students to investigate how weight, surface area, and orientation affect frictional forces.

Key Features:

• Components: includes friction board, friction block, three 50g weights, and 100g spring scale
• Friction Block: features a hook for spring scale and two compartments for adjustable mass
• Board Material: smooth-finished pine wood for consistent surface interaction
• Orientation Options: block can be placed flat or on its side to vary contact area
• Inclined Plane Capability: board can be tilted to study friction on slopes
• Instructional Support: includes a comprehensive activity guide

Technical Specifications:

• Friction Board Dimensions: 20" × 2"
• Friction Block Dimensions: 4" × 1.5" × 1"
• Included Weights: three × 50g
