Name: Experimental Apparatus for the Study of Relative Equilibrium of a Rotating Liquid
Brand: Sangari
SKU: FM314

The apparatus is designed for the study of the relative equilibrium of a liquid in rotation with respect to a non-inertial reference frame.

Schematic diagram of the FM314 apparatus - relative equilibrium of a rotating liquid

1 - Electric motor; 2 - Rotating vessel; 3 - Graduated ruler; 4 - Graduated cross-bar; 5 - Autotransformer; 6 - Counter; 7 - Speed transducer

Electric motor (1) - drives the acrylic vessel (2) via a belt transmission
Graduated ruler (3) - moves vertically and radially along the graduated cross-bar (4); locked in the desired position using set screws, with tip coordinates read on the associated verniers
Speed control: motor speed is adjusted via the autotransformer (5) and measured using a pulse transducer (7) and counter (6)
