    Expt No. 4 Mayer's Disc

    This experiment aims to measure the viscosity of a liquid using Mayer's disc apparatus. The apparatus includes an oscillating disc suspended from a wire that is used to measure the damping effect of a liquid. The viscosity is calculated using a formula that relates the damping time of the disc's oscillations in both air and the liquid. Procedures describe setting up the apparatus and taking oscillation time measurements both with and without the liquid. The viscosity is then calculated using the measured values and the theoretical relationship between viscosity and oscillation damping.

    EXPERIMENT 4

    Aim: To find measure the viscosity of the given liquid using Mayer’s disc.

    Apparatus Used: Table top metallic stand, Oscillating Disc Brass, Wire chuck
    with sample wire, balancing thread screw 50gm weighing, water trough, Digital
    stop watch, Screw gauge & spirit level, Option accessories: Lamp & scale
    arrangement.

    Formula Used:

    η=∏ tg r 4 /8 IV

    Theory: A relation between the damping of a cylinder, suspended from a torsion


    wire and oscillating around its axis in an infinite fluid, and the coefficient of
    viscosity of the latter has been deduced. For very thin disks and very weak
    damping, this relation is the same as that found by some other authors. The
    theoretical result has been checked by using it for absolute measurements in water,
    diethyl-ether and air at ordinary temperatures, with disks and cylinders of different
    sizes, and by comparing the data with those obtained by means of other methods.
    The agreement proves to be good.

    Procedure:

    1. Firstly make stand on table with proper leveling via spirit level.
    2. Connect wire one end of chuck other end oscillating disc.
    3. Take trough fill water in disc balancing through thread screws.
    4. Reflecting mirror through lamp scale arrangement.
    5. Now oscillate the disc take count and reflecting distance ⱷ.
    6. Firstly without water and then with water for sample oscillation.
    7. Note the value, put in formula find the value of viscosity.

    Precautions:

    2. Screws should be proper tight.
    3. Pour the water in the trough carefully.
    4. Make sure the balance with the help of sprit level.
    5. For the oscillations make motion in the disc smoothly.

    Outcome:

    1. Student learns that motion of an object in fluid is affected by the viscosity of the
    fluid.
    2. Student measure the viscosity of the fluid using this phenomenon.
