This equipment is used for measurement of support reactions of a simple beam or cantilever in equilibrium under different loads.  It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).

The beam is supported by two weighing machines with knife edges fixed on to the pan. Load hanger with weights are hung on the beam between the two supports.  In the case of a cantilever, a spring balance and a weighing machine are used.

Instruction manual is also included.

The equipment is used for studying the equilibrium of five concurrent and non-concurrent forces in a three-dimensional system.

A rigid box frame has four swiveling pulleys at the top corners and leveling screws at the legs. Four cords, each with a load hanger outside the frame, pass over the pulleys and meet inside the frame concurrently or non-concurrently with an additional cord between two joints. A vertical load with a cord is applied at one of the joints. Each cord is marked out a 100 mm length. Two PVC sheet are attached on two adjacent side walls and transparent plates with transparent graph grids are attached on the other two side walls.  By aligning each marked cord to the mirror, its coordinates in space can be measured.

This equipment is used for studying the ground and wall reactions as a weight is moved up a rigid ladder. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).

A ladder with rollers at each end leans against a wall.  Reactions at both ends of the ladder are measured by nylon

cords tensioned by weights. A sliding weight can be clamped at any position on the ladder and the ladder is prevented from falling by a stirrup at the top.

This equipment is used for measurement of shear force on a section of a beam from which comparison with theoretical values can be made. It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied) for attachment of the accessories.

The beam has two parts with one part having ball bearings travel on vertical surface of the other part, an overhung spring balance measures the shear force and an underhung spring is provided to resist bending moment. The beam rests on two round supports. Load hangers and weights slide along the beam.

This equipment is used for measurement of bending moment on a section of a beam from which comparison with theoretical values can be made. It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied) for attachment of the accessories.

The beam has two parts with a ball bearing hinge at the joint. An underhung spring balance holds the hinge in compression, hence resists and determines bending moment. The beam rests on two round supports. Load hangers and weights slide along the beam.
