Torsion Pendulum
Product Code : EL-AM-10317
The Torsion Pendulum from Lab Exports consists of a solid brass disc, 12.5 cm in diameter and 1.25 cm thick, suspended from a universal clamp by a wire held with a chuck nut at each end. A heavy brass metal ring of the same outside diameter as the disc is included; when placed on the disc, it increases the moment of inertia and therefore the period of vibration of the system. It is also available with a 6-inch brass disc. Lab Exports manufactures and exports this pendulum from India to schools, colleges and laboratories worldwide.

Key Features
- Variable moment of inertia: Adding the brass ring increases the moment of inertia and the period of vibration for comparative experiments.
- Precise chuck-nut suspension: Ensures stable, repeatable torsional oscillation.
- Size options: Standard 12.5 cm disc or an alternate 6-inch brass disc.
Applications
This Torsion Pendulum is used in physics laboratories to study torsional oscillation, the rigidity modulus of the suspension wire, and the effect of moment of inertia on the period of vibration.
