Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies
Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies (Product Code: SCL-393/04) is a demonstration device used to show how bodies fall freely under gravity, and how their mass and shape relate to that fall, in school physics classrooms. Its 30 mm steel spheres hang from a mounted steel frame on a 17 x 6 cm wooden block, so a teacher can release them in full view of the class. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Free Fall Apparatus Used For?
Teachers use it to challenge the everyday belief that heavier objects always fall faster. Compact bodies released together from the same height reach the floor together, whatever their mass, because gravity gives them the same acceleration. Comparing a steel sphere with a flat, light object such as a sheet of paper then shows how shape and air resistance slow some bodies down.
Fix the wooden block securely at the edge of a bench or on a stand so the spheres fall clear of the table, and place a tray or mat underneath to catch them. Keep students' hands away from the drop zone during each release. Once the class has seen the qualitative result, a timed practical with a stopwatch and tape makes a natural next step in a physics experiment sequence for school.
OEM Manufacturer
This free fall demonstration apparatus is produced by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions and dealers. Quotations, repeat orders and questions about replacement spheres come from the manufacturer itself — ask us. Company details are on the profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies show?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies shows that compact bodies fall with the same acceleration under gravity regardless of their mass, and lets teachers discuss how a body's shape changes its fall through air resistance.
What size are the spheres in the free fall apparatus?
The free fall apparatus uses steel spheres of 30 mm diameter that hang from a mounted steel frame. The hanging mechanism is fixed on a wooden block measuring 17 x 6 cm, which keeps the demonstration compact and easy to set up.
How many spheres come with the free fall apparatus?
The listing for the Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies does not state the number of spheres. Please confirm the contents with us through the contact page before ordering, and mention if you need spare spheres.
Can the free fall apparatus measure the value of g?
No, the Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies is a qualitative demonstration. To calculate g, pair the lesson with the Apparatus for Determining "g" During the Free Fall of Bodies, which times a falling ball over a measured height.
Who manufactures the Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies?
The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is sold directly by the manufacturer.
Can the free fall apparatus be ordered for several schools or for export?
Yes. The Apparatus for Demonstrating the Free Fall of Bodies can be quoted in multiple units for schools and dealers across India and international markets. Share the quantity, product code SCL-393/04 and delivery location when you enquire.
