3B Scientific, UE1040205-230, Experiment for Mechanic: Moment of Inertia, Kit with Torsion Axle, 230 V
UE1040205-230 Includes Only:
- Torsion Axle
- Photo Gate
- Tripod Stand, 185 mm
- Barrel Foot, 1 kg
- Precision Dynamometer 1 N
- Digital Counter (230 V, 50/60 Hz)
- Set of Test Bodies for Torsion Axle
Features:
A body's moment of inertia around an axis of rotation depends on how the mass of the object is distributed with respect to the axis. This will be investigated for a dumbbell, which has two weights symmetrically aligned either side of the axis, for a circular wooden disc, a wooden sphere and both solid and hollow cylinders. The period of oscillation of the test bodies is dependent on the mass distribution and the effective radius of the object.
