About This Product
Searle's torsion apparatus is used in physics and engineering labs to study the twisting of a rod under a turning force. A weight hung from the ribbon on the wheel applies the torque, and the angle of twist is read on the scales. By comparing steel and brass rods, students relate twist to the rod material and can work towards the modulus of rigidity. A second pattern in the range is the Torsion Apparatus Vertical Type. Schools, colleges and distributors in Kuwait, Luxembourg, Papua New Guinea, Argentina, Liberia and Brunei can source the Torsion Apparatus Searles Type from School Lab Equipment India.
