    Relationship between frequency and tension on a string

    Homework Statement In the experiment, a mass was attached to the string. Increasing mass was added, and the fundamental frequency for each mass was determined. I am trying to create a graph from the data, but I am finding that I am getting a linear graph between f1 (fundamental frequency) and m...

    Moment of Inertia Lab for discs of mass

    Thanks! I just have a bad feeling about k though... shouldn't k be somewhere around 1/2 of the mass of the discs according to the equation for moment of inertia? (I=(1/2)mr^2)? Unfortunately 0.7767 is not half of 0.5 kg... hm... Hm, that's what I suspected for the y-intercept. That's...

    Moment of Inertia Lab for discs of mass

    Homework Statement We recently had a Physics lab where we were expected to find a relationship between the moment of inertia and discs of varying radius (discs have same mass), and develop a general equation to illustrate the relationship between moment of inertia and radius for discs of any...
