Moments of inertia and torsional vibrations with CobraSMARTsense
Article No: P2133167
The moment of inertia of a solid body depends on its mass distribution and the axis of rotation. Steiner's theorem elucidates this relationship. Benefits Angular oscillation apparaturs includes five different body shapes for in-depth experimenting High-precision movement sensor Very robust and durable setup Tasks The moments of inertia of different bodies are determined by oscillation measurements. Steiner's theorem is verified. Learning objectives Rigid body Moment of inertia Centre of gravity Axis of rotation Torsional vibration Spring constant Angular restoring force
