Bifilar Trifilar Suspension Of Pendulums

Product Description

Bifilar Trifilar Suspension Of Pendulums

In a bifilar suspension, the pendulum body is suspended over two threads. The pendulum body oscillates in a plane purely translationally without rotation. This kind of pendulum can be considered as a mathematical pendulum. In a trifilar suspension with three threads, the pendulum body is set in a torsional vibration. The torsional vibration can be used to determine the moment of inertia by experiment.

Learning Objectives And Experiments

• Influence of thread length on the oscillation period
• Determine the mass moment of inertia
  

Features

• Ideal mathematical pendulum can be demonstrated
• Moment of inertia in an experiment on a rotary pendulum
