Structure of mechanism
Function This machine is composed of a graduated vertical rule and a pulley over which runs a wire attached at each end to weights of identical mass. There is also a plastic cursor which can slide along the rule, as well as an electromagnet. The rule is attached to a base with three feet, each of whose height can be adjusted via a screw. Several accessories are also features: different pulleys (to study the moment of intertia) and various weights. The device also requires a chronometer system.
 

Application
Examples of application This device is used to study slow-falling bodies. It was used by future teachers during their studies at the men’s and women’s teacher training colleges, now the IUFM (University Teacher Training Institute) in Clermont-Ferrand.
