How to Use Apparatus to Study the Moment of Inertia
Place the
apparatus on a flat, stable, and dry laboratory table.
Fix the
rotating body, axle, pulley, and support frame properly before starting the
experiment.
Attach the
string to the rotating body or pulley arrangement as per the experiment setup.
Connect the
weight hanger and add suitable slotted weights.
Wind the
string carefully around the axle or pulley.
Release the
weight hanger gently and allow the rotating body to rotate freely.
Record the
time taken for the weight to fall through a measured distance.
Repeat the
experiment with different masses or rotating bodies if required.
Use the
recorded readings to calculate angular acceleration and moment of inertia.
After use,
stop the rotating body completely and store all components safely.
