About This Product
For the Elasticity And Surface Tension bench, the wire under test is screwed between the mid points of the two hanging brass rods, and the set-up is used to find the modulus of rigidity and Young's modulus of the wire's material by Searle's method. The same source also describes a dynamical-method rigidity apparatus built around a graduated iron rod with a circular weight.
