Moment of inertia project help- experiment 1: Bifiler Rod

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a bifiler suspension experiment aimed at determining the moment of inertia using a rectangular drop bar as the oscillating object. Participants emphasize the importance of showing prior efforts before receiving help, as the forum is not intended for direct homework completion. They suggest that the user should consider traditional equations for calculating moment of inertia and those related to oscillations, including mass densities and stiffness. Additionally, attaching a diagram or sketch could facilitate better assistance. The overall goal is to derive both experimental and theoretical values for the moment of inertia through this experiment.

Homework Statement: So i need to find equations to help me with a bifiler suspension experiment in which i will use a rectangular drop bar as the oscillating object, also any help with the method of this experiment would be greatly appreciated. The end goal is to find the moment of inertia using a graph with experimental results but to also have an equation that i can use to calculate theoretical values
Homework Equations: ?

Please help

Hello dlx, :welcome: !

PF isn't for doing your homework for you, but to help you with it.

The thread will be deleted by a mentor once they are aware of it. Read the guidelines and make it easier for us to help you. We do want to help, don't worry.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

As @BvU says, we cannot offer tutorial help until you show your best efforts to work this problem.

Can you use the "Attach files" button below the Edit window to attach a diagram or sketch? And what are the traditional equations used for calculating the MOI of an object? What are the typical equations used to describe oscillations in terms of mass densities and stiffness?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
