Consisting of a rubber tube of about one meter length with a small pointer on a heavy cast iron stand.

Application/Usage :-To find out the Poissons ratio of rubber by experiment.

The apparatus has been designed to explain the basic principle of production of heat by rotating of vanes friction. It consists fixed vanes encased in a wooden case lined with felt.The box can slide freely on a wooden base and is fitted with thermometer clamping device.A rotating cast aluminium cylinder rotates freely on a cast metallic pedestal and to its axle rotating vanes is provided which converts the kinetic energy into heat energy and temperature of water in copper vessel rises after two to three minutes of rotation.Two pulleys are fitted on iron frame. Complete as described with cord.But without thermometer.The above apparatus is also provided with non-resetable zero revolution and shown in the diagram & with two set slotted weight and cord.

(University Pattern) Comprising two units each having a double walled jointless copper vessels with non-conduction cover through which is suspended a 7.5 x 5cm size copper calorimeter.A second covering protects the top of the calorimeter from dust and heat losses.The annular spaces between the double walled vessels are connected by T Tubes, which enable water at same temperature to be kept circulating through them, superior quality.

Application/Usage :- To verify Newton's Law of Cooling

"To determine the value of G. It consists of an electronic unit having for sockets & a switch to help to hold or release the ball.A heavy retort stand carries a solenoid. When toggle switch is on catch position, current flows through solenoid producing a magnetic field & holding the ball.The retort stand carries another base.The ball after being released from solenoid falls on this base.Time taken by the ball to travel from solenoid to second base is recorded in electronic unit."

Lever Apparatus: It consists of half-meter aluminium strip with stone agate knife edge at the center. The aluminium strip is firstly painted and after that it is screen printed as 25-0-25 cm having zero at the center. Two plastic hooks, which moves along the aluminium meter scale is also provided. These plastic hooks are used for carrying slotted weights. This set up is provided on a superior quality, duco painted, and sheet metal stand but without weights.

One meter long, made of soft wood and well polished brass fitting with meter scale graduated both sides in centimeters. It is provided with wire of three different materials, sliding wedges and hook etc. but without weights.
