Action-reaction Trolleys

Description

SP4-0380
The strong wooden platforms measure 600 x 340 x l8mm and are constructed from plywood with nylon tyre wheels at each corner. The surfaces are covered in ribbed rubber sheeting to provide a non slip surface. In use, the platforms are placed in line on the floor and two students sit on them facing each other. One student is instructed to push the other away but the end result is that both students move equal amounts. The platforms have many other uses in large scale load dynamics investigations as well whenever heavy weights are involved.
