TM 161 Rod And Gravity Pendulum Didactic Equipment Vocational Education Equipment Mechanical Training Equipment
Comparison of physical and mathematical pendulum Features - investigation of pendulum swings - comparing physical and mathematical pendulums Learning objectives/experiments - oscillation period of gravity and rod pendulum - determine centre of gravity on the rod pendulum - reduced pendulum length and centre of inertia of the rod pendulum Specification [1] experiments on pendulum swings, comparison of physical and mathematical pendulums [2] rod pendulum as physical pendulum, made of metal and mounted on knife-edge bearing [3] knife-edge bearing mounted to slide on the rod to effectively vary the pendulum length [4] weight for the rod pendulum, sliding [5] gravity pendulum as a mathematical pendulum [6] adjustable length of the gravity pendulum [7] stopwatch to measure the oscillation period [8] bracket for wall mounting Technical data Gravity pendulum - length: up to 2000mm - nylon rope - weight -- diameter: 50mm -- mass: 0,52kg Rod pendulum - length:1000mm - diameter: 8mm - mass: 0,39kg - pendulum weight -- diameter: 50mm -- mass: 0,49kg Stopwatch: 1/100s Measuring tape: 3m LxWxH: 250x80x2000mm Weight: approx. 5kg
