Task 1. Determination of inertia moment of Oberbech’s pendulum crosspiece.
1.1. Remove loads from the rods.
1.2. Measure the diameter of pulley with trammel. Write down the result as:
__________________ m,
where DRin is instrumental error of radius determination.
1.3. Write down the value of falling load mass and height, the load falls from:
__________________ kg,
__________________ m,
where m is an instrumental error of mass measurement; Dh is an instrumental error of height measurement.
1.4. Let the load go down and measure the time of its falling down to a lower score with a stop watch. Repeat measurement 5 times and enter the results into table 1.
Task 2. Determination of inertia moment of Oberbech’s pendulum with loads
2.1. Fix loads at the first rods scores near the pulley and carry out measurements according to item 1.4.
2.2. Determine the distance between the centre of rotating loads and the centre of pendulum rotation. Enter the result into table 1.
2.3. Fix loads on a medial, and then on farthest scores of the rods and repeat measurements according to items 1.4 and 2.2. Enter the obtained result into table 1.
2.4. Determine random error of falling load time measurement for position without loads:
— calculate average values
where n = 5 is amount of measurement;
— calculate the deviation of the measured values of time from it mean value
— determine the root-mean-square error:
— calculate the absolute error of falling load time measurement:
where the Student’s coefficient is tSt= 2,78 (n = 5 and a = 0,95);
— determine the absolute error according to the formula:
Dt = ,
— determine the fractional error according to the formula:
Enter the results into table 2.
