About This Product
Twisting the disc and letting it go sets up angular simple harmonic motion. From the period of oscillation, the disc size and the wire dimensions, students calculate the modulus of rigidity of the wire material. Educational Instrument can dispatch the Torsion Pendulum to laboratories in South Sudan, Vanuatu, South Africa, Tajikistan and Antigua and Barbuda.
