Force Sensor

Introduction

♦ The sensitive component of ZC0014 Force Sensor is a resistance strain gauge. It is attached to the metallic cross girder. It measures the force from two directions when the cross girder is deformed.

Usage

♦  Connect the sensor to computer by USB cable.

♦  Open the SWR iLab v8.0.

♦  Click ‘New’  to create new experimental template.

Notes

♦  Calibrate the Force Sensor to zero before using.

♦  Keep the sensor’s applied force direction same as the sensor’s front hook.

♦  Please keep the force applied to the sensor not exceeding measuring rage during measuring. Otherwise it may damage the Force Sensor.

Typical experiment

♦  Action and Reaction

Others

♦  Explore the Hooke’s law

♦  Newton’s third law

♦  Theorem of momentum

♦  Metal expands by heat and contracts by cold

♦  Explore the simple harmonic motion

♦  Overweight and weightlessness

♦  Archimedes’s floating law
