Description
GSC International 4-16066 Triple Tandem Pulley, Plastic
This black plastic pulley has three wheels in tandem, with the larger of the three being 50mm in diameter. It has a metal housing and hooks at the top and the bottom.
Demonstrating Mechanical Advantage: Use the pulley in physics experiments to show how multiple pulleys reduce the effort needed to lift a load. A triple tandem setup can illustrate compound pulley systems and their effect on force distribution.
Studying Newton’s Laws: Incorporate the pulley into setups for demonstrating Newton’s second law (F=ma) by varying masses and measuring acceleration using motion sensors or timers.
Energy Transformation Lessons: Use the pulley to explore the relationship between potential and kinetic energy as weights are lifted and released, helping students visualize energy conservation and loss due to friction.
Engineering and Design Challenges: Integrate the pulley into student-led design projects where they must build a functional crane, elevator model, or simple machine, encouraging problem-solving and teamwork.
Tension and Force Analysis: Use the pulley in conjunction with spring scales to measure and analyze tension in ropes under different configurations, which helps in understanding vector components and static equilibrium.
