Friction demonstration, image 2 of 2
Friction demonstration. Image 2 of 2. The wooden slab and one kilogram mass are being pulled over a smooth wooden table by a newtonmeter, which measures the force required to overcome friction and move the slab. In this case, the newtonmeter shows that a force of 3.7 newtons is required, compared to just 2.2 newtons for the slab alone. This is because increasing the mass increases the frictional force between the slab and the table. For the image of the slab alone being pulled, see A400/120

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a friction demonstration in action. In this second image of the series, we witness an intriguing experiment involving a wooden slab and a one-kilogram mass being pulled over a smooth wooden table. The force required to overcome friction and move the slab is measured by a newtonmeter, which is prominently displayed in the photograph. The newtonmeter reveals that it takes 3.7 newtons of force to move the slab with the added mass, compared to just 2.2 newtons for the slab alone. This stark difference highlights how increasing the mass intensifies the frictional force between the slab and the table. The image showcases an adult male teacher conducting this educational exercise in what appears to be a well-equipped laboratory setting. The focus on measurement and experimentation underscores its scientific nature, making it ideal for physics or mechanics lessons. With its emphasis on physical forces like drag and friction, this photograph offers valuable visual aid for educators seeking to illustrate these concepts effectively. Its composition features various elements such as wood, equipment, and measuring tools that further enhance its educational value. Overall, this thought-provoking image from Science Photo Library provides insight into practical demonstrations used within academic environments while showcasing both curiosity-driven learning and hands-on exploration of fundamental principles in physics.
