Deformable Parallelepiped Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Deformable Parallelepiped (Product Code: SCL1215/06) is a hinged frame with a base – four vertical rods joining two bases, plus a median articulated support – that can be folded obliquely into a leaning box shape. As the frame leans further, students watch the moment a body standing on a base stops being stable and tips over, which makes the idea of centre of gravity and support base visible at a glance. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for schools looking for a simple center of gravity apparatus in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

Stand the frame upright on the bench, then tilt it step by step so that the rods lean and the upper base moves sideways over the lower one. A plumb line hung from the upper part of the frame marks the vertical through its centre of gravity. While that line still falls inside the lower base, the frame stays standing; once it passes beyond the edge, the frame overturns. Students can mark the tipping angle and relate it to everyday cases such as loaded vehicles, tall cupboards and why stable objects have wide, low bases.

Tilt slowly and keep a hand close so the frame does not fall off the bench, and do not force the joints past their natural travel. Used as a demonstration model in the physics lab, it pairs well with rotating-disc and lever experiments to give a complete lesson on equilibrium.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab apparatus such as this frame is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company registered in Ambala, Haryana, that focuses on hands-on equipment for teaching science. See the company profile for more about its range and export activity to international markets.

• Disc to Demonstrate Equilibrium (Balance) — covers equilibrium of a body turning about an axis.
• Metal Ruler — for measuring base width, height and sideways shift before tipping.
• Inclined Plane With Accessories — lets students compare toppling with sliding on a slope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What principle does the deformable parallelepiped demonstrate?
It shows that a body resting on a base stays in balance only while the vertical line through its centre of gravity falls within that base, and topples once it moves outside.

What size is the frame?
Its dimensions are not smaller than 140x200 mm. If you need the exact measurements for a display cabinet or lesson plan, we can confirm them on request.

Is a plumb line supplied with it?
The specification lists the frame with its four vertical rods, two bases and median articulated support. A plumb line is not listed, so order a Plumb Line Level separately if you want to show the vertical.

Is it meant for the teacher or for student groups?
It is mainly a front-bench demonstration piece, but small groups can also use it to record the tilt at which the frame overturns.

How should it be looked after?
Return the frame to its upright position after use, keep the joints free of dust, and avoid bending the rods or forcing the articulated support.

What does a school need to send for a quotation?
The product code SCL1215/06, quantity and delivery address are enough to start. We supply institutions and distributors in India and international markets.
