Designed to collect data on forces developed during stepping, jumping, and other human-scale actions.
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:
–850 to +3500 N or –200 to +850 N, where positive value is a compression force
Typical Resolution:
1.2 N or 0.3 N
