    The document describes two experiments to determine the radius of gyration (k) of objects using different suspension methods. Experiment 1 uses a bi-filler suspension system to find k of a rectangular bar, while Experiment 2 uses a tri-filler suspension system to find k of a circular disc. Both experiments involve suspending the object from cords, allowing it to oscillate, measuring the periodic time (T) for oscillations, and using the theoretical relationship between k, T and other variables to calculate the actual k. Observations are recorded in tables.

    EXPERIMENT- 1

    AIM: To determine the radius of gyration of given bar using bi-filler suspension

    APPARATUS: Bi-filler suspension system

    INTRODCUTION: Uniform rectangular section bar is suspended from the pendulum


    support frame by two parallel cords. Top ends of the cords pass through the two
    small chucks fitted at the top. Other ends are secured in the bi-filler bar. It is
    possible to adjust the length of the cord by loosening the chucks. The suspension
    may be used to determine the radius of gyration of any body. In this case, radius of
    gyration of the bar is determined.
    THEORY:
    The equation of the angular motion is:
    𝐼𝑑 2 Ɵ 𝑚𝑔𝑏2
    = − Ɵ ------------ (1)
    𝑑𝑡 2 4𝐿

    𝑑2Ɵ 𝑚𝑔𝑏2
    + = 0 ------------- (2) (dividing through by the moment of inertia, I)
    𝑑𝑡 2 𝐼∗4𝐿

    Note that, 𝐼 = 𝑚𝑘 2 (where ‘k’ is the radius of gyration and ‘m’ is mass of the bar)
    So the above equation (2) may be written, as:
    𝑔𝑏2
     + 2 Ɵ = 0 ------------- (3)
    4𝑘 𝐿
    From equation (3),

    𝑔𝑏2
    ὥ=√ Where ὥ is the angular velocity of the bar.
    4𝑘 2 𝐿

    2п
    Also T = where T is the periodic time.
    ὥ

    Therefore;
    𝑘2𝐿
    𝑇 = 4п√
    𝑔𝑏2
    Also;
    𝑰𝑳
    𝑻 = 𝟒п√ ---------- (4) (Since;𝐼 = 𝑚𝑘 2 )
    𝒎𝒈𝒃𝟐

    EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
    1) Suspend the bar from chuck, and adjust the length of the cord ‘L’
    conveniently. Note that the suspension length of each cord must be same.
    2) Allow the bar to oscillate the vertical axis passing through the center and
    measure periodic time t by knowing the time for say 10 oscillations.
    3) Repeat the experiment for taking n observation values.
    4) Complete the observation table below.

    Nomenclature:
    L = length of the suspended cord
    N = No of oscillations
    T = Time for N oscillations
    Kact = Actual Radius of gyration of bi-filler suspension
    Kthe = Theoretical radius of gyration of bi-filler suspension

    EXPERIMENT- 2

    AIM: To determine the radius of gyration of given bar using Trifiller suspension
    APPARATUS: Trifiller suspension system
    DESCRIPTION: A uniform circular disc is suspended from the pendulum support

    frame by three parallel cords. Top ends of the cords pass through the three small

    chucks fitted at the top. Other ends are secured in the tri filler disc. It is possible to

    adjust the length of the chord by loosening the chucks

    THEORY:
    The discs is now turned through a small angle its vertical axis, the cords
    becomes Inclined. One being released the disc will perform oscillations about the
    vertical axis. At any Instant

    Let:

    ѳ = angular displacement of the disc

    F = tension in each cord =w/3

    Inertia torque = i × ѳ

    Restoring torque = 3 × horizontal component forces of each string × r

    Inertia torque = restoring torque


    Experimental Procedure:

    1) Suspend the circular disc from chuck, and adjust the length of the cord ‘L’
    conveniently. Note that the suspension length of each cord must be same.
    2) Allow the circular disc to oscillate the vertical axis passing through the center
    and measure periodic time T by knowing the time for say 10 oscillations.
    3) Repeat the experiment for taking n observation values.
    4) Complete the observation table below.
