Force Platform
CI-6461
Introduction
The ScienceWorkshop Force Platform, used with a ScienceWorkshop interface, continuously measures force (up
to 4400 N or 1000 pounds) applied by a person or object. You can use the Force Platform to measure the static
weight of a person standing on it, or the dynamic vertical force involved in moving and jumping. It has the mea-
surement range and strength to accommodate people of all sizes and the sensitivity to measure smaller forces
such as the weight of a ball. Put the platform on the floor or tabletop to measure vertical force, or mount it on a
wall to measure horizontal force. With the optional handle set, you can use the platform to measure both “pull-
ing” and “pushing” force.
