    Searle's Experiment

    This document describes how to measure the young modulus, rigidity modulus, and Poisson's ratio of a steel wire using Searle's dynamic method. A steel wire is connected between two bars and allowed to oscillate horizontally and torsionally. Equations relate the time periods and moments of inertia of these oscillations to the material properties. Measurement of the wire's geometry, oscillation times, and calculations are also outlined to determine these values.

    #To measure young modulus ,rigidity modulus and Poisson ratio of

    a steel wire by dynamic method of Searle.

    Theory: a steel wire is connected between two bars. The oscillatory motion of the bars in the
    confined system is associated with the young modulus of the bar through the following equation,
    8𝜋𝑙
    𝑦= 𝐼
    𝑟 4 𝑇𝑏2 𝑏

    Where l is the length of the wire r is the radius of the wire , Ib is the moment of inertia and Tb is the
    time period along horizontal oscillation .

    **Rigidity modulus=
    8𝜋𝑙𝐼𝑡
    𝜂= 𝑟 4 𝑇𝑡
    *It is the moment of inertia, *Tt is the time period of toritional oscillation

    1 𝐼 𝑇𝑡2
    **Poisson ratio (𝜕) = ( 𝑏 × ) −1
    2 𝐼𝑡 𝑇𝑏2

    𝑇2
    Ib=It=(𝑇𝑡2 − 1)
    𝑏

    • Length of the wire=


    • Least count of screw gauge=
    Pitch of the screw(p)=
    Number of division on the circular scale(N)=
    L.C=P/N
    • V.C of slide callipers- 10 v.s.d = 9M.s.d
    1 v.s.d=9/10 M.s.d
    So, Vernier constant=1 m.s.d-1v.s.d
    =(1- 9/10 ) m.s.d
    =1/10 × 0.1 = 0.01 c.m
    Width measure=
    M.S.R V.R Total=M.S.R+V.R*V.C Mean

    Depth measure=
    M.S.R V.R Total=M.S.R+V.R*V.C Mean
