About Inclined Plane, Wood & Metal
Inclined Plane, Wood & Metal
Comprises of a wooden plane consisting of two laminated wooden boards joined together by metal strips at both ends for rigidity. One end of the plane is hinged to a cast metal base, while the other end has a pulley clamp attached to it. This also has arc scale mounted on the base with a circular scale calibrated from 0 to 45°´1° to measure the angle of inclination and vertical scale calibrated in centimeters to measure the height. The inclination of the wooden plane can be adjusted through a clamp provided on the side of plane with a tightening knob and also acts as index pointer alongside circular scale for reading the angle of inclination. Complete cord, weight pan, metal roller with collar and hook and friction slider hook, and instruction manual.
