To measure the moment of inertia of a flywheel Name: Zahid Mahmood Lab ID: M15 Lab Partner: Makanov Renax Date of conducting the experiment: 11/12/2006 Date Submitted: 10/01/2007 Aim: the moment of inertia of a rigid body is a property essential to the solution of rotational problems involving that body. The purpose of this experiment is to measure the moment of inertia of a flywheel. Apparatus * Flywheel * Mass * Callipers * Clamp stand * Piece of string * Vernier callipers * Digital stop-clocks Figure 2: Arrangement of flywheel Experimental procedure For a minimum of 5 values of m: * Count the number of revolutions, n, completed before the string detaches itself; n is unlikely to be an integer. Using the same string n can be kept the same, throughout the experiment. * Measure the time t required for the weight to drop; repeat this at least three times for each weight * Obtain a value for N, the number of revolutions completed after the string...
