Back to UnitInteractive Materials & Fluid Dynamics Simulation Lab
60fps multi-mode laboratory simulator: Mode 1 Searle’s wire elasticity with spirit level deflection; Mode 2 Stokes’ viscometer falling sphere with real-time vector drag tracking; Mode 3 Capillary tube rise and meniscus curvature.
Marking a lesson complete represents finishing your study of the topic; it does not denote tested mastery.
Learning Objectives
- Investigate how varying wire diameter and hanging load alters tensile strain and spirit level tilt in Searle’s apparatus.
- Observe terminal velocity attainment and test how fluid viscosity and sphere radius govern viscous drag.
