Designed for much higher forces than the Dual-Range Force Sensor, the Force Plate can measure the forces developed during stepping, jumping, and other human-scale actions. For example, you can perform the following kinds of experiments:

  • Observe the change in normal force during an elevator ride.
  • Measure the impulse delivered by the floor during a jump.
  • Measure the reaction force as a student leans against a wall.
  • Force range: –350 to +3500 N or –85 to +850 N, where positive value is a compression force
  • Maximum non-damaging force: 4500 N compression
  • Typical Resolution: 1 N or 0.3 N
  • Dimensions: 31.5 cm by 31.5 cm by 3.5 cm
  • Vernier Force Plate
  • BTA to BTA cable
  • (1) Pair of handles
