Chemistry C500

Jumpstart your study of mechanical physics by learning all about simplemachines and how they’re used to make complex tasks easier to do.Through 26model-building exercises, you’ll investigate all six classic simple machines -wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges - aswell as gears.Start off with simple models to guarantee a firm understandingof the basic principles at play, and then move onto larger, more complexmodels to push the machines harder and see how they can work together.Alsoincluded is a specially designed spring scale so that you can measure how themachines change the direction and magnitude of forces, making work easier todo.With this durable, modular construction system, you can see how the samebasic elements combine in different ways to form each machine.The models canbe assembled and disassembled again and again; combine the pieces to createyour own configurations, limited only by your imagination!In addition to theinvaluable hands-on expe
