Moment of Inertia of a Solid Sphere of Known Mass Using Vernier Caliper

To determine the moment of inertia of a solid sphere of known mass using Vernier caliper

MOMENT OF INERTIA OF A SOLID SPHERE OF KNOWN MASS USING VERNIER CALIPER

 

AIM 

To determine the moment of inertia of a solid sphere of known mass using Vernier caliper

 

APPARATUS REQUIRED

Vernier caliper, Solid sphere

 

FORMULA

Moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its diameter  Id = 2/5 MR2

Where

M → Mass of the sphere ( known value to be given ) in kg

R → Radius of the sphere in metre

 

DIAGRAM


A model reading

MSR = 2.2 cm ; VSC = 4 divisions;

Reading = [2.2 cm+(4x0.01cm)] = 2.24 cm


PROCEDURE

·           The Vernier caliper is checked for zero errors and error if found is to be noted

·           The sphere is kept in between the jaws of the Vernier caliper and the main scale reading (MSR )is noted.

·           Vernier scale division which coincides with some main scale division ( VSD ) is noted. Zero correction made with this VSD gives Vernier scale reading ( VSR ).

·           Multiply this VSR by Least Count (LC) and add it with MSR. This will be the diameter of the sphere.

·           Observations are to be recorded for different positions of the sphere and the average value of the diameter is found. From this value radius of the sphere R is calculated.

·           Using the known value of the mass of the sphere M and calculated radius of the sphere R the moment of inertia of the given sphere about its diameter can be calculated using the given formula.
