Showing 14 experiments that use the Rotational Inertia Accessory.
Static Equilibrium of a Rigid Body
A rod mounted on a Rotary Motion Sensor is suspended in static equilibrium. The angles, lever arms, and forces are measured. The forces are summed and...
Physical Pendulum
A rod and a disk oscillate as a physical pendulum. The periods are measured directly by the Rotary Motion Sensor, and the values are compared to the theoretical...
Variable-g Pendulum
A pendulum is constrained to oscillate in a plane tilted at an angle from the vertical. This effectively reduces the acceleration due to gravity because...
Physical Pendulum Minimum Period
The period of a physical pendulum is measured with its mass in various positions. Starting with the mass furthest from the pivot gives a long period. However,...
