| Mechanical Equivalent of Heat Apparatus
(0801) |
| Specifications : Size: 26 x 22 x 20 cm – Inclusive of clamp for table mounting. Joule’s most important experiment, converting mechanical work to thermal energy. The apparatus is a simple and accurate demonstration of how to turn mechanical energy into heat. Using the rotation-counter and a falling mass it is possible, using a thermometer, to calculate the mechanical effect of riction
and the increase in temperature of the calorimeter. COMPONENTS : • Base • Pin with cord and spring • Weight (5 Kg) • Thermometer (-10 ? 110?C). LAWS & PRINCIPLES INVESTIGATED : • Conversion factor between joules and calories. |
