About this item
Great for studying the simple harmonic motion of a torsional pendulum.
- Designed to study the simple harmonic motion of a torsional pendulum
- Demonstrates torsional pendulum constant dynamically as well as in the static case
- Approximately 22.5" in height
- Great for physics classrooms
The torsional pendulum is an angular version of a simple harmonic oscillator. Instead of back and forth motion like in the case of a spring, the restoring force is actually a restoring torque, causing the pendulum to rotate backwards to equilibrium.
This kit explores the two distinct ways to determine the torsional spring constant of the wire; one that involves a dynamic system, like a regular pendulum swinging back and forth, and the other, a static system, akin to one way of measuring the restoring force of a spring.
Ordering information: Required components, not included: stopwatch or digital timer, string. Kit Includes heavy duty base, square support rod, plate with central hole, hanger bracket with graduated drum, brass torsion pendulum, (2) brass outer discs, (8) 10 g masses, (2) weight hangers, (7) torsion lines (various diameters & lengths), experiment guide and instructions for assembly.
