    Experiment #2 investigated the relationship between moment of inertia and radius using pin point masses. The experiment fixed 400g weights to opposite sides of a pipe attached to a rotational axle, and measured the time taken for a 100g drive mass to fall 40cm from different effective radii of the pipe. The results were recorded and graphs plotted to identify the direct proportional relationship between moment of inertia and mass or effective radius of a rigid body. In conclusion, moment of inertia increases as mass or effective radius increases, and a hollow cylinder has a larger moment of inertia than a solid cylinder of the same mass and radius.

    Experiment #2

    Objective:
    To investigate the relationship between Moment of inertia and
    radius using pin point masses.

    Equipment:
    1. Apparatus for investigating inertia in rotational motion (TM
    610)
    2. Digital Stop Watch
    3. A steel meter ruler
    4. A set of weights (100g, 200g and 400g)

    PROCEDURE
    1. As in Part A, the pipe is being fixed to the center of the
    rotational axle.
    2. Two 400g of weights are being fixed on the pipe by placing
    each of the weights on each sides.
    3. The effective radius (R) is set sequentially at 0.210m, 0.180m,
    0.110m.
    4. Besides that, the drive mass for this part experiments are fixed
    to 100g as well.
    5. The drive mass is adjust to the height of 40cm from the ground
    for each experiments and the lapsed time (t) is being calculate by
    using the stop watch.
    At the moment of the drive mass is start dropping, the stop watch
    is started
    and is stopped when the drive mass had reach the ground.
    6. The experiments are repeated three times using the same
    heights in order to
    limit error in time measurement. After three trials, the
    experiments are
    carried on by adjusting the radius R as mention ion step 3.
    7. The average time obtained is recorded into the results table.
    The I experiment
    and I corrected are being calculated and graphs are being plot as to
    identify the
    relationship of rotational inertia to the radius.
    Observations & Calculations:

    CONCLUSION
    As conclusion, we can say that the moment of inertia of a rigid
    body is actually being affected by two variables, mass and the
    effective radius. Both of these variables are directly proportional
    to the moment o inertia of the rigid body. In other words, the
    moment of inertia is increases as the mass increase or as the
    effective radius increase. Besides that, the hollow cylinder has the
    larger moment of inertia when compared with the solid cylinder.
    The value of moment of inertia of the hollow cylinder is twice as
    much as the moment of inertia of the solid cylinder.
