Torsion Axle

Torsion Axle

Description
Experiments

Experiment Topics:_..

•	Rotary oscillations
•	Determination of moments of inertia using the oscillation method
•	Moments of inertia of various geometric bodies
•	Steiner's theorem

Productinformation:_..

Axle for investigating rotational oscillation of various test bodies and for determining their moments of inertia from the period of oscillation. With ball-bearing mounted shaft, coil spring and holding lug. The test body is a bar with weights that can be moved along its length and a circular disc with one hole in the centre and eight away from the centre for determining moments of inertia for eccentric axes of rotation and confirming Steiner’s theorem.
