About This Product
As mechanics lab equipment, it is used to find the moment of inertia of an irregular body about an axis through its centre of gravity and perpendicular to its plane, by the dynamical method. The grooved aluminum disc hangs on a steel wire from the centre of the framework, and the levelling screws on the circular base set it level for Applied Mechanics readings.
