United Scientific™ AdvancedGen Pendulum Set

Description

The AdvancedGen Pendulum Set includes a set of twelve 25 mm drilled pendulum balls in six different materials, a triple pendulum clamp, and suspension cord.

• Bring your physics equipment into the 21st century with this complete pendulum set.
• The simple pendulum includes a set of twelve 25 mm drilled pendulum balls in six different materials, a triple pendulum clamp, and suspension cord.
  • The balls are counter sunk to the center to allow for suspension at the center of mass.
• The period dependence and energy in both linear and conical motion can be explored.
• The physical pendulum consists of a 60 cm aluminum bar with a heavy moveable steel mass and a knife-edge suspension supported by a table clamp.
• The period dependence on the mass position can be explored and compared with calculated moments of inertia to verify the theoretical formula.
• The Wilberforce pendulum consists of a heavy cylindrical steel bob with small adjustment masses hanging from a long spiral spring.
• It can oscillate in two different but coupled modes- linear oscillations (up and down) and torsional oscillations (spinning).
• The kinetic energy flows back and forth between these modes.
• The exchange is only complete when the weights are adjusted so that the periods of the two modes are exactly equal.
• The simple geometry allows the moment of inertia in the spinning mode to be calculated for theoretical comparison of the two periods.
• The period measurements of each type of pendulum are easily made using a motion sensor.
