Experiment: Moment of Inertia

Product Overview

Objective: Determine the moment of inertia for various test bodies. 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.
