Static and Dynamic Torsion Study Apparatus for Torsional Pendulum

This Static and Dynamic Torsion Study Apparatus is designed for investigating the simple harmonic motion of a torsional pendulum. It consists of a plate with a central hole equipped with two ball-bearing pulleys, and a rod with a central cylindrical mass that acts as the pendulum. The apparatus stands approximately 22.5 inches in height. The kit allows study of the torsional spring constant both dynamically (through oscillation) and statically (through applied torque), exploring how restoring torque causes the pendulum to rotate to equilibrium. Kit includes a heavy-duty base, square support rod, plate with central hole, hanger bracket with graduated drum, brass torsion pendulum, 2 brass outer discs, 8 ten-gram masses, 2 weight hangers, 7 torsion lines of various diameters and lengths, and an instructional guide. A stopwatch and string are required but not included.
