Centrifugal Force Apparatus
Product Code : EL-AMLE-10619
Centrifugal Force Apparatus (code EL-AMLE-10619) is a rotating rig used to verify the centrifugal force formula by experiment. A low-friction bobbin runs on a track, and as the device is turned by its rotation device the force on the bobbin is read directly from a Newton spring scale fixed about the axis of rotation, while the rotation frequency is measured with a light gate.

What Is the Centrifugal Force Apparatus Used For?
When a body moves in a circle, a force directed towards the centre is needed to keep it on its path, and the matching outward force felt in the rotating frame is the centrifugal force; it rises with the mass, the radius and the square of the rotation frequency. The student sets the apparatus turning with the rotation device, lets the bobbin run out along its track, and reads the force on the Newton spring scale while a light gate records the rotation frequency. Comparing the reading with the value calculated from the known radius checks the formula.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of apparatus required.
- Light gate — whether a light gate for measuring the rotation frequency is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the centrifugal force measured?
The force acting on the bobbin is read directly from a Newton spring scale that is fixed about the rotation axis of the apparatus while it turns.
How is the rotation frequency found?
The rotation frequency is measured separately with a light gate. Together with the spring scale reading and the known radius, it allows the centrifugal force formula to be checked.
What does the bobbin do?
The low-friction bobbin runs along the track of the rotating device, and the force it exerts while the device turns is what the Newton spring scale displays.
