This apparatus is designed to determine the moment of inertia of disc through rolling action. Discs of various materials are used to determine moment of inertia. A metallic base with a three-point support is used as a base for the experiment; the different rotating masses are rolled down this plane. The inclined plane can be precisely aligned using integrated spirit levels and three levelling bolts. The angle of inclination is adjusted using an adjustment bolt. A 1000mm ruler is integrated directly into the inclined plane for measuring the distance.
This bench top unit enables basic experiments to be performed on dynamics and is ideal for laboratory experiments.
