Pulley, Double Tandem Plastic with Metal Housing
GSC International 4-16065 Double Tandem Pulley, Plastic with Metal Housing This black plastic pulley has two wheels in tandem, with the larger of the two 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 double 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 fun
