Forces in a crane jib

This unit represents a planar central force system in which multiple forces act on a single point of application. Based on the example of a crane jib, forces are determined graphically and experimentally: resultant cable force, tensile force, compressive force. The directions and magnitudes of the forces are determined graphically by way of a force parallelogram.

• tensile and compressive forces in a planar central force system based on the example of a crane jib
• integrated spring balances in the bars
• max. load on crane jib 50N
• stainless steel retaining bar
• sturdy metal base plate
• handles to aid transportation
• storage system to house the components
