Explanation of the Models When load is applied it rotates producing the

couple, moment or torque as below:

1. Wall Mounted Jib-Crane
τ =f × r (1)
1.1 Definition and Structure
The Laws of movements are verified in this
A jib crane is a type of crane where a model.
horizontal member (jib), supporting a
moveable hoist, is fixed to a wall or to a
floor-mounted pillar. It has the two main
parts: Jib and Tie. The tie also has the
Spring Balance that measures the tension in
the thread.

1.2 Uses

This lifting machine may pick up loads

in all or part of a circle around the column to
which it is attached. Jib cranes can be sturdy
3. Simply Supported Beam Model
enough to lift a ton or more of weight, or
small enough to attach to a truck. An agency that provides support to
make the body equilibrium state. This
Model shows the three types of supports
having different functions. The brief
explanation of these three supports is as
follow:

3.1 Roller support

Roller support allows for the supported

2. Model for the verification of Laws of
Movements.
This model has a big plate that rotates
around its centroid. It has the pulleis and
threads. It is rotated with the help of threads
passing through pullies. On applying the
load through threads it rotates.
structure to move horizontally, while the
upward reaction force prevents the structure
from falling down. The single reaction force
is always perpendicular to the surface. This
type of support is often found at one end of
long bridge, allowing the bridge to expand
and shrink with natural temperature changes.
Simple Example for roller support is a book
lying on a table.
 4. Model of Suspension Bridge.

This is the model of the suspension

bridge that shows the laws also an
application of laws of movements. In it
bridge is suspended through ropes. The
resultant force is zero therefore the bridge
remains in equilibrium.

5. Model for the Verification of Laws of

Movements

This model is also an application of the

3.2 Hinge Support laws of movements.

Hinge support has vertical and

horizontal reaction. It has the rotation. There
is no movement along x-axis and y-axis. 

Example for Hinge Support is the Door. We

cannot move the door vertically or
horizontally but it can rotate, making it to
open and close.

3.3 Fixed Support

It has three reactions along x-axis, y-axis

and it can’t rotate.

6. Model for finding the Centre of

Gravity of different objects.

This instrument is to find out the centre

of gravity of different objects of different
shapes.
7. Model for the verification of Laws of
Friction (Coefficient of Friction).

In this model laws of friction are

verified. The coefficient of friction is
determined using this Model.
