investigation of mass moments of inertia in rotating, rigid bodies
Code | TM610 |
Description:
- The resistance with which a rigid body opposes a change to its rotation is indicated by the mass moment of inertia.
- Here, the behaviour of the body depends on its mass and the distribution of this mass relative to the axis of rotation.
- Mathematically, the quotient of the rotary moment and the angular acceleration is the mass moment of inertia.
- The TM 610unit can be used to study mass moments of inertia of rotating bodies (hollow cylinder or solid cylinder).
- The experimental unit is clamped to a table-top plate via two support rods.
- A support rod supports the rotary axis with the studied body.
- The rotary axis is accelerated by a weight, pulley and cable with a drum.
- This results in a uniformly accelerated rotational motion.
- Using the measured time, mass and acceleration distance, we can calculate the mass moment of inertia.
- Systems with different masses and mass distributions can be studied in various geometries.
- Using a rotating bar with masses, it is possible to study the mass moment of inertia as a function of the radius.
