M-O3   :   Physical Pendulum



UNIT: Pendulum as SHO
PURPOSE: Illustrate the difference between an ideal and a physical pendulum, the role of moment of inertia in the later
EQUIPMENT:
1. Physical pendulum [NYA]
2. "Ideal" pendulum of adjustable length
3. A stand

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Suspend the pendulum at CM
2. Suspend the pendulum at a point different then CM
3. Compare with an equivalent ideal pendulum

DISCUSSION: --
