Maker: Unsigned Price: Purchase date:

  Description
  The main support is an iron column fixed on a wooden basis.
  The beam lies on steel bearings, supported by a column sliding along the iron pole, so that the balance can shift vertically. We obtain the sliding with a string that winds around a reel fixed to the basis on the front of the balance. We can change the height of the beam height with the string through two pulleys.
  The pans have a hook below for the experiments on the Archimedean principle
