Description of the Experiment
This control room allows the confirmation of angular momentum conservation and the measuring of the moment of inertia of rotating discs.
Experimental Apparatus
The experimental apparatus is based in a PC hard-drive to which were added a servo and a group of discs that the servo keeps above the rotating discs. This setup allows the realization of the first protocol, centered in the study of angular momentum conservation.
The aparatus also has a group of braking resistors that can be connected in parallel with the motor windings. This setup allows the realization of the second protocol, centered in the study of the moment of inertia.
