Description

Hands-on way to introduce the concepts of the center of gravity, angular acceleration and moment of inertia.

  • The masses on the demonstrator are removable, allowing for a greater range of demonstrations
  • The rod may be used with one of the movable masses to demonstrate a center of gravity paradox, where the rod is easier to balance with the mass extended to the far end of the rod and balanced up in the air
  • With two of the masses placed on the rod, angular momentum can be “felt” by rotating the rod with the masses near the center, and then apart on the ends
  • Helps to understand the classic “ice skater's spin”
  • With three masses on the rod, students can mathematically calculate the necessary positions of the masses to allow the center of gravity to be determined at a given point
  • Helps to visualize counterbalance
