Item no.: F11
Introduction
As our daily appliance, the rotational device could be found everywhere at anytime. Just like the rolling wheels in car’s motion, gyroscope in the steamer, even the spinning skill in the athletic game, hurricane arisen from air of large vortex and the existence of spiral galaxy in universal space, they all are assessed from the dynamical characteristic of body rotation. In this subject, the experimental kit is designed to experience the characteristic of force responsible for rigid body in circular motion, and rotational inertia for rotating object induced by torque.
Objective
- Centripetal force induced by various mass in different radius.
- Angular acceleration and moments of inertia of different bodies.
- Steiner’s theorem (parallel-axis theorem).
Experiment— Centripetal force
A body of mass M moves on a circular path, variable angular velocity might be produced by adjustable radius and rotating rate. The required centripetal force for the body, in terms of relative parameters, will be developed below.
Experiment—Moment of rotational inertia
Base on the Newton’s second law F=ma and rotation motion for T=Iα , systematic moment of inertia could be summarized by individual moment of inertia, which depends on the separated mass and their distance to the rotating axis.
Generalized from these experiments, a disk, mounted as the vertical shaft, is subjected to an external torque induced by a mass connected to a stretched string around pulley. Based on r the value of hanged mass m, radius of disk R and angular acceleration, the rotational inertia of disk can be determined.
