Nylon Pulley Cord

Rugged cable perfect for investigating pulley systems.

• Colors may vary

This nylon cable is lightweight, flexible, and durable - perfect for safe, practical science demos! A nylon pulley cable can be used in a physical science classroom for various demonstrations and experiments related to forces, motion, and mechanical advantage. Demonstrate Newton’s Second Law by attaching different masses to a pulley system and measuring acceleration. Show Newton’s Third Law by illustrating action-reaction pairs with weights and pulleys.

Use fixed and movable pulleys to explain how they reduce effort force. Compare single vs. multiple pulleys to show how mechanical advantage increases. Attach a pulley system to study gravitational acceleration by timing falling objects. Explore how mass distribution affects motion. Investigate the role of friction by comparing nylon cables with other materials. Measure tension in the cable under different loads to connect to real-world physics applications.
