Auxanometer Demonstration clock Work

Useful for studying the relationship between load applied to a wire and

the resulting extension i.e., Young's modules of elasticity of the wire material. Can also be used

for comparing elastic module of two different wires. Two thick sheet metal strips with clamping

screws at the top for wires and metal hooks for the loading masses, are mounted in a

rectangular plate, parallel to each other. The plate has a scale 0-40x1mm along with a movable

Vernier of LC 0.1mm, attached to one of the metal strips. Also included is a ceiling clamp with a

pair of wooden screws for suspending wires from the top and can be attached to a convenient

overhead beam or door frame etc. supplied complete with a tension weight and a set of two

wires - 1 each of brass and steel.
