Laboratory installation "Maxwell's Pendulum" by Naurash
Laboratory installation "Maxwell's Pendulum" by Naurash. A Maxwell pendulum is suspended inside a frame structure. To record the moments in time when the disk begins to move and reaches a certain height near the bottom point of the trajectory, optoelectric sensors are used. The movement of the system is started using a starting device. The rotating ruler is used to measure the movement of the axis of rotation of the disk when moving from the top point to the point at which the lower optoelectric sensor is triggered. Registration of time intervals in operation is carried out using optoelectric sensors. The time interval between markers installed on the corresponding fronts of changes in the state of the sensors is entered into the table, where the average value of the time the pendulum moves down and its standard deviation is automatically calculated. The obtained values are used to calculate the moment of inertia of the pendulum. To calculate the proportion of mechanical energy lost during one cycle of movement, the durations of the first and subsequent “periods” of oscillations are measured; for this, the markers are sequentially moved to the response points of the lower sensor.
