The Trifilar Suspension Tutor : Dr. Yan Name : Manilka Abeysuriya Course : Aeronautical Engineering Group : A - 1 Date : 27 / 01 / 2003 Title : Determination of moment of inertia of a uniform rectangular bar and a connecting rod using the trifilar suspension, and by swinging the connecting rod as a compound pendulum. Introduction : Moment of Inertia can be described as a measure of "unwillingness to change the current motion" of a certain body of mass. In the experiment, the main objective is to find the moment of inertia of a uniform body and an irregular shaped body. Toward achieving this First the center of mass of the bar and the connecting rod was found by balancing them on a knife-edge. Then the bar was placed on the trifilar suspension which is a circular platform suspended by three equally spaced wires of equal length, such that the center of mass of the rod is over the...
