Equilibrium in a single plane, statically determinate system

The principle of 'freeing' in engineering mechanics allows forces and moments acting on a body to be made visible. In this process, a body or a system such as a bar are virtually removed from the environment. All forces acting on the body or on the system are replaced by standardised symbols. This results in a simplified model of the body or system, which clearly demonstrates the relationships between forces and moments.

• development of the static principle of 'freeing'
• full compensation of the support forces by cable forces
• sliding clamp weight
• determine the position of the clamp weight via built-in rule with millimetre scale
• 2 supports (1x fixed bearing, 1x floating bearing)
• 3 guide pulleys
• storage system for parts
• experiment setup in the mounting frame
