Inclined Plane Euro
Product Code : EL-AM-10328
Quick answer: The Inclined Plane Euro is a wooden grooved track on a metal support, with a trolley that runs along the grooves. The angle is adjusted with the help of the grooves, so the slope can be changed quickly and repeated. It is used to study motion, force components and friction on an inclined surface. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
On a slope of angle theta the trolley feels a down-slope component of its weight, m g sin theta. With friction small, it accelerates down the track at close to g sin theta, so timing runs over a measured length at different angles shows how acceleration depends on the slope and gives an estimate of g.
The grooves keep the trolley on a straight path, which makes timings repeatable, and the groove settings let a class return to the same angle in a later lesson.
- Set the track to a chosen angle using the grooves and measure its height and length to find sin theta.
- Release the trolley from rest at a marked point and time its run over a measured distance s.
- Repeat several times and find the acceleration from a = 2s/t^2.
- Change the angle and repeat, then plot a against sin theta; the slope is close to g, reduced slightly by friction.
