A beautiful and engaging investigation of angular motion! Observe the angular acceleration of the apparatus, and investigate the effects of changes in torque and inertia. Simply move the rope to a pulley of a different radius to change the torque, or move the mass on the arm to change the moment of inertia. Qualitative observations are a snap, and students can easily see the dramatic effects of their adjustments. The apparatus also lends itself to accurate quantitative experimentation, with two ways of finding the moment of inertia: theoretically, according to the component masses and their dimensions, and experimentally, by measuring the angular acceleration for a given torque. Included is a rotating hub, 4 threaded rods, 4 weights with set screw, a 90-degree clamp, a wrench, low-density PTFE thread seal tape, and no-stretch pulley string. Please Note: Ring Stand not included.
