Diseño y construcción de un banco de pruebas que permita determinar la potencia, trabajo y energía para el Laboratorio de Física de la Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica

Abstract

This project presents the need to have didactic material for laboratories, specifically in the area of physics, allowing Faculty students to have a tool that facilitates understanding of the topics: work, power and energy of a body. In the present project, the construction of a test bench was carried out, beginning with the creation of the plans with the help of software, for which the materials and measurements of the main components of the machine were taken into consideration, a database of A36 steel as a structure, a Mitsubishi fx1 16MR PLC, an HMI screen, infrared motion sensors, power sources and relays, which together perform the required function of the test bench. Greater interest was paid to the most important input data such as: the masses and the angle of inclination, later 10 tests were carried out varying these data, to start the comparisons the masses were entered at a certain angle, the test was repeated using the same masses with the difference that on this occasion the angle would be zero allowing to compare the data obtained from the test bench and the calculations carried out manually by means of Newtonian physics. At the end of the test bench, it will be delivered to the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, who will make it available to students, ensuring their educational wellbeing.
