Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan (Product Code: SCL220/010) is a hinged inclined plane used to study forces along a slope and find coefficients of friction between materials in physics labs. Its aluminium plane measures 600 x 100 mm, an arch scale sets the incline from 0° to 45° in 1° steps, and a cylindrical metal roller, scale pan with cord, trolley and pulley are included. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

For the force experiment, the plane is raised to a chosen angle on the arch scale and the roller is placed on it. A cord from the roller runs over the pulley to the scale pan, and masses are added until the roller stays still; the load in the pan then balances the component of the roller's weight acting down the slope, which students compare with the value from W sinθ.
For friction, a block of wood, metal or another material is placed on the plane and the angle is increased slowly until the block just starts to slide; the tangent of that angle gives the coefficient of static friction. This makes it a practical inclined plane apparatus for friction experiments in senior secondary physics. Keep the plane surface clean and dry between tests so results stay comparable.
The Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sells under the ScienceLab name. The plane, arch scale and accessories are made and put together at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sent factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Questions such as base type, replacement rollers, pans or cords can be settled with the manufacturer before the quotation is issued — just ask us. Details of the company are on the ScienceLab profile.

What angles can the Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan be set to?
The Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan can be set anywhere from 0° to 45°, read on an arch scale mounted on the base board with 1° divisions. The aluminium plane is hinged to the base, so the angle changes smoothly.
What accessories come with the Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan?
The Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan comes with a cylindrical metal roller, a scale pan with cord, a trolley and a pulley. Masses for the pan are not listed as part of the set, so request them separately if needed.
How is the coefficient of friction found with the Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan?
On the Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan, place a block on the plane and raise the angle slowly until the block begins to slide. The tangent of that angle, read from the arch scale, equals the coefficient of static friction.
Who manufactures the Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan?
The Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and any design questions are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can the Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan be ordered for a full physics lab?
Yes. The Inclined Plane with Roller & Pan can be ordered in multiple sets for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Mention the number of sets, the base type and your delivery location when you enquire.
