Rotating Platform

Product Code : ILS-FAM-11702

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Rotating Platform (Product ID: 11702) as part of its forces and motion range. It is a 40 cm turntable that a student stands on to feel conservation of angular momentum at first hand.

Quick Answer

A student stands on the platform holding a spinning wheel; tilting or flipping the wheel changes its angular momentum, and the platform turns the other way so the total stays constant. With hand weights, pulling the arms in makes the student spin faster because the moment of inertia falls. Stand with a foot either side of the centre and the weight evenly spread, and have a spotter beside younger students. The bearing oil must be at room temperature for smooth turning, and more load needs more force to rotate.
