Moment of Inertia Apparatus - code: 4138.50

An experimental approach to the moment of inertia. The Moment of Inertia Apparatus allows students to verify the laws of the moment of inertia. Discs of different masses and hollow cylinders, can be mounted on a low friction system in order to perform qualitative and quantitative observations. The apparatus can be used both with an electronic timer and photogates, or with a datalogger system and a computer interface.
Equipment needed
Digital Chronometer (code 2231.52)
Vernier Photogate (code 2312.10)
or Motion Detector (code 2310.10)
LabPro (code 2300.10)
