VLab - Moment of Inertia of Horizontal Rod (Free)

3D virtual lab work for modern physics lessons (section: Mechanics)

PURPOSE: Simulation performance of laboratory works on general physics.

OBJECTIVE: Determine the moment of inertia of a horizontal rod with additional weights attached.

SUMMARY: The moment of inertia of a body about its axis of rotation depends on the distribution of its weight in relation to the axis. This is to be investigated for the case of a horizontal rod to which two additional weights are attached symmetrically about the axis of rotation. The rod is coupled to a torsion spring, and its period of oscillation increases as its moment of inertia, which is determined by the additional weights and their distance from the axis, is raised.
