Inclined Plane

Inclined PlaneThe most famous simple machine, revisited by Altay.

One of the classical simple machines.

This classical apparatus is devoted to the study of static friction and tangential/normal components of the weight force.

It consists of an aluminium folding track and a protractor scale to be used for angle measurements.
