    This document describes an experiment to determine the moment of inertia of objects suspended in a bifilar suspension system. The apparatus consists of various objects that can be suspended between two threads and caused to oscillate. The experiment involves measuring the oscillation period of each object and using the formula for moment of inertia of a bifilar pendulum to calculate the moment of inertia based on measurements of the object's mass, oscillation period, and dimensions in the suspension system. The goal is to experimentally determine the moment of inertia of different objects suspended in this way.

    Experiment 02

    Objective
    To determine the moment of inertia of bifilar suspension

    Apparatus
    The apparatus shown in Figure 01 consists of bifilar or trifilar suspension with three different
    objects; a cylinder, a bar and a hollow cylinder which can be suspended from the mounting plate
    and cause to oscillate. The length of suspension can be altered by adjusting the thread with the
    locking wheels. The bar is attached to two threads (bifilar) while the cylinders have three
    suspension points (trifilar).

    Experimental Procedure
    1. Suspend the rectangular block or (bifilar pendulum) in the flat position by means of two
    strings of equal lengths

    2. Measure the distance between ‘2d1’ between the points of suspension at the rigid support
    and the distance ‘2d2’ between the lower ends of the strings on the suspended block. As
    both the distances ‘d1’ and ‘d2’ are same so we denote this by ‘d’

    3. Measure the perpendicular distance ‘l’ between the planes containing the lower and upper
    ends of the strings

    4. Now, turn the body through a small angle about the vertical axis through the centre of
    gravity and release it

    5. Record the time twice for 20 oscillations and find the time for one oscillation (T)

    6. Calculate the moment of inertia of the body with the formula
