The Searle's Pattern Rigidity Apparatus is used to determine the modulus of rigidity and Young's modulus of a wire. It measures the mechanical properties of the wire through
precise setup and testing. It consists of
- A 30 cm long test wire connected to two 30 cm brass rods at their midpoints via screws
- The brass rods are suspended from hooks for stability.
- The apparatus comes with three test wires and connecting screws for experimentation
