Experiments

1.Measuring the twist constant of instrument

2.Measuring rotational inertia of plastic cylinder, metallic cylinder, globoid and metal bar.

3.Verify the parallel-axis theorem by changing the position of sliding block on the metal bar.

Features

1.The instrument use steel structure, using three feet nut stent to adjust the horizontal height, fixing the spirit level on the stent.

2.standard configuration of different kinds of rigid bodies: cylinder, metal hollow cylinders, globe and metal bar with sliding block

3.Adopt new SCM to control system for the reason of high precision, strong function, stable property and reliable.

4.Millisecond Timer and Counter，(equip with millisecond timer and counter).

    a)Adopt SCM to control circuits, it can measure the period of object rotation and movement.

    b)Automatically save and record multi-group data, and it can calculate the average value precisely.

It can be used as general purpose timer, user can master it by membrane switch on the panel and preset by nixie tube to manage the data.
