Dynamics range equipments and experiments available in Statics and Dynamics Laboratory are listed in Table 1. These equipments are part of a range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic dynamics principles. The equipment are robust and uncomplicated to give students examples of how principles can be properly applied in practice. The wide range of experiments will challenge and educate the most able students. Each Setting up time is minimal, all measurements are made with the simple possible instrumentation, so that the involvement is purely with the engineering principle being taught.

| EQUIPMENT | JENAMA | EQUIPMENT PHOTO | EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIMPLE PENDULUM | TQ-RE300U |  | The objective of this experiment is to show that the time of a simple pendulum depends only on the length of the pendulum, and to determine the value of the force of gravity using a simple pendulum. |
| PROJECTILE | NIL |  | The objective of this experiment is to determine the distance traveled by the initial movement throughout the sliding platform and the movement when the particle free-fall to the ground under the action of gravity. |
| ENERGY CONSERVATION | TQ-RE300U |  | The objective of this experiment is to investigate some aspects of potential energy and kinetic energy, and to show that, energy exist and can be transformed stored and given back. |
| CRANK MOTION | TQ-RE300U |  | The objectives of this experiment are to investigate the characteristics of crank mechanism by constructing a turning moment graph from experimental results and comparing the experimental graph with the theoretical graph. |
| UNIVERSAL COUPLING | TQ-RE300U |  | The objective of this experiment is to investigate the effect of introducing universal couplings to a simple drive shaft and to check the uniformity of angular movement between the driving and the driven end of the shaft in a straight line assembly and then again with an angular transmission. A further objective is to repeat these tests with the couplings set up at incorrect position assembly to see how this interferes with uniform angular transmission. |
| ROLLING DISC ON THE INCLINED PLANE | GUNT HAMBURG TM-611 |  | Technical Description This benchtop unit enables basic experiments to be performed on dynamics and is ideal for laboratory experiments. A metal carrier with a three point support is used as an inclined plane for the experiment; the different rotating masses are rolled down this plane. The inclined plane can be precisely aligned using two integrated sprit levels and three bolts. The angle of inclination is adjusted using an adjustment bolt and is indicated by the built-in inclinometer. The inclinometer uses the plumb line principle. A 1000mm ruler is integrated directly into the inclined plane for measuring the travel. The steel rotating masses each have self-centering conical pins. Using a separate pendulum block the moment of inertia of the rotating masses can be determined by swinging. Learning Objectives / Experiments
