    This document provides the procedure to determine the moment of inertia of an irregular body using an inertia table. Key steps include: 1) Balancing the inertia table and measuring its period of oscillation T0. 2) Measuring the period of oscillation T1 of a regular body of known moment of inertia I1. 3) Measuring the period of oscillation T2 of the irregular body. 4) Using the formula (T22 − T02) / (T12 − T02) to calculate the moment of inertia I2 of the irregular body based on the measured periods of oscillation.

    Moment of inertia of an irregular body

    OBJECT: To determine the moment of inertia of an irregular body about an axis passing through its centre
    of gravity and perpendicular to its plane by dynamical method (Inertia Table)
    Apparatus used: Inertia Table, irregular body, regular body, stop watch, sprit level, physical balance,
    weight box and Vernier calipers.
    Formula used: The moment of inertia of the irregular body can be determined by following formula.
    (T22 − T02 )
    I 2 = I1
    (T12 − T02 )
    Where I1: Moment f inertia of regular body, I2: Moment f inertia of irregular body,

    ey
    T0: Time period of oscillation of inertia table, T1: Time period of oscillation of regular body,
    T2: Time period of oscillation of irregular body,

    If regular body is in shape of disc having radius R and mass M then, I1 = M R 2

    Procedure:
    K

    (1) Using sprit level, balance the plane of inertia table by rotating screws S1 and S2 so that its base
    becomes horizontal.
    (2) Balance the inertia table by placing the balancing rings in grooves such that pointer in base of
    inertia disc just lies above the pointer on the base of base of inertia table.
    D

    (3) Give the slight twist to the table so that it begins to execute torsional in horizontal plane. Now note
    the time for 20 oscillations with lamp, scale, telescope arrangement or by eye. Repeat it three
    times. This will give you value of T0=t0/20.
    (4) Now place the regular body on the table and do again the step 3. This will give you value of
    T1=t1/20.
    (5) After it, place the irregular body on the table and do again the step 3. This will give you value of
    T2=t2/20.
    (6) If given regular body is in shape of disc, then find its mass with help of physical balance and also
    find its diameter with help of Vernier calipers.
    Observations:

    Results: The moment of inertia of irregular body= ……….kg-m2
    Precautions:
    1. The base and inertia table should always be horizontal.
    D

    2. The table should execute torsional vibrations only.


    3. The amplitude of twist should be small so that the wire is not twisted beyond the elastic limit.
    4. There should be no kink in wire.
    5. Periodic time should be noted carefully.
    Note: If irregular body is approximately in shape of thick hollow cylinder then you can check your result with an
    approximate calculation of I2 with following formula.

    I2 =

    ( )
    m R12 + R22 ,

    Here m=mass of irregular body, R1&R2 : external and internal radius of thick hollow cylinder
