Equilibrium Of Rigid Body
Equilibrium Of Rigid Body (Product Code: SLE/ESA/02) is a magnetic work panel kit used to study the forces acting on an inclined ladder, a classic rigid-body equilibrium problem, in applied mechanics and engineering science classes. A model ladder is held at angles between 15 and 45 degrees, with or without a climbing mass at any position along its length, while the horizontal and vertical forces are measured. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Equilibrium of Rigid Body Kit Used For?
A ladder leaning against a wall is the textbook example of a rigid body in equilibrium: its weight, any load on it and the reactions at the top and foot must balance horizontally, vertically and in moments. With this kit fixed to the Work Panel, students set the ladder angle, read the horizontal and vertical forces, and compare them with the values predicted by the equilibrium equations.
Moving the climbing mass up the ladder step by step shows how the horizontal force at the foot grows, which explains why a real ladder is most likely to slip when someone is near the top. Repeating the series at several angles between 15 and 45 degrees shows how the ladder angle changes the forces. With theory and typical results in the illustrated user guide, the kit fits well into engineering lab equipment programmes at polytechnics and colleges in India.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the OEM behind this kit. Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), which trades as ScienceLab, manufactures it at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).
Colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers buy it directly from that factory, and questions about work panel compatibility or extra kits for more student groups go straight to the manufacturer. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit demonstrate?
The Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit demonstrates the forces around an inclined ladder-type structure, letting students compare measured horizontal and vertical forces with the conditions for equilibrium of a rigid body.
What ladder angles can be set on the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit?
On the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit, the model ladder angle can be adjusted between 15 and 45 degrees, and each angle can be tested with or without the climbing mass at any position along the ladder.
What else is needed to use the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit?
The Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit is designed for use with the Work Panel, because its magnetic parts fit onto that panel. Our Engineering Science Work Panel is listed separately; confirm the panel when you request a quote.
How are forces read on the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit?
The Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit measures the horizontal and vertical forces on the ladder for each angle and mass position. The measuring parts included are not detailed in the listing, so ask through the contact page and the quotation will state them.
Does the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit include a user guide?
Yes. Each Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit is supplied with a fully illustrated user guide containing theory, experiments and typical results, which helps staff prepare lessons and lets students check their readings.
Who manufactures the Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit?
The Equilibrium Of Rigid Body kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for India and international markets come directly from the manufacturer.
