Description
The
metre long bar fitted with a moveable bobweight can be suspended from
seven different positions along its length. A simple cord pendulum with
adjustable bobweight is included. This enables the radius of gyration of
the compound pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity to be
determined
A stop watch and ruler are provided.This equipment is
part of a range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm
basic engineering principles. Great care has been given to each item so
as to provide wide experimental scope without unduly complicating or
compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and
compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with
the simplest possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement
is purely with the engineering principles being taught.
