Fletcher Trolley Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-AM-10918
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Fletcher Trolley (Product ID: 10918) as part of its applied mechanics range. A trolley on a steel-rod track, pulled by a falling load, for verifying Newton’s second law, F = ma.
Quick Answer
A large metal trolley with removable cylindrical weights runs on low-friction wheels along a track of two steel rods 150 cm long, held in heavy clamps on two vertical rods with cast iron feet. A cord from the trolley passes over a pulley on one vertical rod to a scale pan, so the falling load accelerates the trolley. A steel vibrator on the other rod carries a brush that traces a wave in ink along the moving trolley; each wave takes the same time, so the trace gives the acceleration. Changing the pan load or the trolley weights lets students test F = ma under different conditions. It is all metal and easy to assemble and dismantle; cord, scale pan, brush and ink are included.
