Principle
A moment acts on a body which can be rotated about a bearing without friction. The moment of inertia is determined from the angular acceleration.
Benefits
- Long runtime
- Nearly friction-less movement due to precision bearing and precision pulley
- Steady set-up prevents interferences
Tasks
From the angular acceleration, the moment of inertia is determined as a function of the mass and the distance from the axis of rotation
- of a disc
- of a bar
- of a mass point
