Whirling Table
Product Code : EL-AM-10336
Quick answer: The Whirling Table is a sturdily built, hand-operated rotator that can be used either vertically or horizontally. It is used for experiments on circular motion and centripetal force, in which the item under study is turned by hand at a steady rate. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
A body moving in a circle of radius r at speed v needs a centripetal force F = m v^2 / r = m w^2 r directed towards the centre, where w is the angular speed. A whirling table supplies the rotation for demonstrations of this idea: the item under study is fixed to the rotating part and turned by hand at a steady rate, so its behaviour can be watched as the speed changes.
Because it works in a vertical or a horizontal position, the same unit serves experiments that need an upright axis of rotation and those that need it to lie flat, which suits it to many different applications in the laboratory.
- Set the whirling table firmly on the bench in the vertical or horizontal position needed.
- Fit the item to be rotated to the rotating part and check that it is secure.
- Turn the hand rotator slowly at first, then at a steady rate, and observe the effect of increasing speed.
- Count turns against a stopwatch to estimate the angular speed w = 2 pi n / t for calculations.
